Celebrating Academic Integrity
Championing academic integrity in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
We’re all members of the Warwick community, becoming experts in our own subject areas and proud of our achievements. When we achieve academic success, we can celebrate our collective triumph and promote the reputation of our institution through academic integrity.
Academic integrity means committing to honesty in academic work, giving credit where we've used others' ideas and being proud of our own achievements.
Access useful resources below to make sure that your work always meets Warwick's expectations of academic integrity, and get involved in our student competition on the theme of championing academic integrity in the age of AI.

Support
Breaches of academic integrity sometimes happen without us realising, especially if we are in a rush to meet a deadline. Taking shortcuts may seem tempting, but the impacts of an academic integrity breach can be long-lasting.
Each academic department has its own policies and practices concerning academic integrity and these can be found on your department's webpages and course handbooks. Always ask your department's Academic Integrity Lead if you're not sure where to look.
Find out about Regulation 11, including forms of academic misconduct (A3.3), on this page.
