A Golden Guide to Academic Integrity
Laurier is a community of scholars engaged in research and learning. This community includes us as undergraduate, master's and PhD students. Our academic work is about creating and sharing knowledge in all kinds of ways: we may be conducting research, presenting at a conference, or publishing a paper. Even in the classroom, as students, we are creating and sharing knowledge when we participate in a discussion, deliver a presentation, or hand in a paper.
When we’re learning with integrity, we are developing and using our skills in collaborating, studying, researching, and writing in ethical and principled ways that will stay relevant no matter where life after Laurier takes us.
This golden guide to academic integrity will introduce you to golden students Ivan, Sophie, Varsha and Spencer, as they take you through everything you need to know about acting with integrity, from skills-based resources based on what you’re doing in your courses this term. In this section you will also find links to the policies and procedures in place at Laurier to define, deter and hold students responsible for acts of misconduct.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by staying golden and acting with integrity.
