Academic Integrity and The Dangers of Contract Cheating

​Academic Integrity is defined within HELI's Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure as actions aligned with values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility in learning, teaching, and research.

​

HELI students must:

• submit only original work which properly acknowledges the ideas, designs, words, or works of others;

• not submit another person's work as their own;

• not purchase or commission work and submit as if it were their own;

• not submit work created with the assistance of others, except in the case of collaboration in connection with group work assessment;

• not use generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools contrary to guidelines published on the College website and in relevant college documentation (e.g. unit outlines);

• submit an electronic copy of any assessment through HELI's text-matching software;

• declare that work submitted for an assessment is their own through the Academic Integrity Declaration;

• use the acknowledgement practice methods that are appropriate for their field of study;

• not lend, or allow to be otherwise provided, their original work to other students for any reason except collaboration in connection with group work assessment; and

• encourage other students to uphold the principles of academic integrity and professional honesty.
