Acting with integrity is a fundamental expectation of anyone working or studying here and within the wider Higher Education community.
As part of the 4th International Day of Action Against Contract Cheating on 16 October, institutions around the world are taking action to warn students of the perils of asking others (whether paid for or not) to complete assignments for them. Institutions will also be reminding staff to stay alert to contract cheating.
Check out social media to find out what is happening around the world (#ExcelWithIntegrity, #DefeatTheCheat) and come along to one of the Academic Integrity events organised jointly by SUSU and the Academic Skills Hub which takes place later in the semester?
Your Degree, Your Content is taking place on Thursday 31 October, 11:00-14:00 in the Winchester School of Art Cafe and on Wednesday 20 November, 11:00-14:00 in the Hartley Library.
Remember that legitimate help is always available here at Southampton, so no one should ever feel that they have to use contract cheating – see Top tips for good academic practice to find out more about how to work with integrity.
