Academic Integrity at University of Galway
Academic Integrity at University of Galway Academic Integrity is fundamental to all areas of scholarship, teaching and learning. The International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) defines it as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. It is important that the University community work together to promote academic integrity. Recent years have seen an increase in certain kinds of academic misconduct globally. In response to the challenges this changing academic integrity landscape brings, the University of Galway have in 2022 approved a new Academic Integrity policy. The consistent use of policies and procedures alongside work to promote academic integrity, deter and detect misconduct is widely recognised as the best approach to cultivating a strong culture of academic integrity amongst the university community. CELT have produced and curated a number of resources designed to help further this cause. They can be accessed internally through the CELT SharePoint Academic Integrity page.
Academic Integrity Policy
The current Academic Integrity policy was approved by Academic Council in 2022. This policy was developed in consultation with academic staff, academic integrity advisors, students, and international academic integrity experts. See the complete Academic Integrity Policy and the Appendix.
