Academic integrity

Notre Dame is committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship and research. Fundamental to this commitment is the upholding of academic integrity which is underpinned by the values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.

The University has implemented a range of strategies to support and enhance student's understanding, value and uphold academic integrity, these include the Academic Integrity Training Modules which are compulsory for commencing students. The training modules are available on Blackboard and have been designed to assist students to recognise the values and behaviours that represent academic integrity and those that don’t, the different forms of academic misconduct, how to plan and manage assessments, the types of situations that may lead to poor decisions and how to manage these and the importance of acting with integrity in all that we do even when under pressure.

In addition to the Policy: Student Academic Integrity and Procedure: Academic Integrity, there is the Code of Conduct for Students, Course Outlines, Marking Guides (for example, rubrics), Text-Matching Software, Library Services, Pathways, and this Academic Integrity Module (AIM). Student Success also provides study support resources and services, such as learning advisor appointments, and workshops focusing on improving academic skills. Studiosity is also available for all students, offering 24/7 feedback on academic writing and referencing for all students. Access Studiosity from your Blackboard Tools area.

The Academic Integrity Module (AIM)

AIM is an educational resource developed to support students in understanding the principles, processes and importance of academic integrity. AIM will provide some guidance to students regarding citations and references, in order to assure the academic integrity of the work produced.

AIM has two parts. Ideally, you should undertake Part 1 first.
