Academic Integrity Education Program
The Undergraduate Academic Integrity Education Program is a two-part, educational requirement assigned as a sanction for students who have received an Honor Code violation. Designed to turn academic misconduct violations into teachable moments, the program helps students explore the ethical implications of the academic enterprise while strengthening their understanding of academic integrity, ethics, the Virginia Tech Honor Code, and online ethics principles.
Part One is conducted by the Office of Undergraduate Academic Integrity, and Part Two is led by the IS Tutors’ team.
- Students should be mindful to complete both parts one and two of the program by the due date they are assigned. Extensions will not be granted.
- If Students do not complete parts one and two by the due date they are assigned, a graduation hold will be placed on their account.
When students have completed the program to satisfaction they will receive a certificate of completion for each part. As the grading process can take up to two weeks from the time of submission for each part, we ask that you allow time for grading before reaching out to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Integrity to inquire about the status of your submission.
