Academic Integrity Resource for Students

Responsibility refers to the quality or state of being responsible; moral, legal, or mental accountability; reliability, trustworthiness.

Being responsible means standing up against wrongdoing, resisting negative peer pressure, and serving as a positive example.Responsible individuals hold themselves accountable for their own actions, and work to discourage misconduct by others. For members of the academic community, this means safeguarding integrity, scholarship, teaching and research.

Responsible students seek to obtain and understand information about classroom and institutional policy. They follow these policies and ask questions when they do not understand or disagree with them.
