Academic Integrity

What's on this week?

Help Celebrate Academic Integrity Week 2025 at RRC Polytech!

Ready to get on your path to academic integrity? Let’s get started! Whether you're new to the concept or just need a refresher, this week is your chance to explore what academic integrity means at RRC Polytech and to do it with curiosity, courage, and a little fun.

Academic integrity is grounded in honesty, trust, respect, responsibility, fairness and courage (International Center for Academic Integrity, 2021). It sets the rules for doing your academic work appropriately, so you can show what you know in your assignments and tests. Academic integrity is important because it helps instructors, employers and the public trust that RRC Polytech credentials truly reflect what graduates know and can do.

We know you’re working hard in your studies. Academic Integrity Week 2025 at RRC Polytech is about highlighting the support available to you on your path to academic success and celebrating the importance of academic integrity as part of your journey at RRC Polytech.

Find out what’s going on for Academic Integrity Week below and get involved in the Academic Integrity Meme Contest or spend some time at a Library Workshop building your academic skills this week!

Take the next step and navigate your academic journey with integrity. There are so many people here at RRC Polytech ready to help you stay on the right path!
