Academic Integrity at UGA
Every student must agree to abide by UGA’s academic integrity policy and procedures known as A Culture of Honesty when applying for admission to the University of Georgia. A Culture of Honesty and the University of Georgia Student Honor Code work together to define a climate of academic integrity at the university.
All members of the university community have a responsibility to uphold and maintain an honest academic environment and to report when academic misconduct occurs. Where suspected violations of the academic integrity policy occur, appropriate procedures are designed to protect the integrity of the academic process while ensuring due process. The university’s academic integrity system is an academic process founded on educational opportunities.
The Office of Instruction is responsible for the university’s academic integrity policy and procedures as well as supporting the University of Georgia Student Academic Integrity Council to ensure that information related to the academic integrity policy is available to all members of the university community.
