Measures to instill academic integrity (as submitted by school)

Students sign the Academic Integrity Code upon admission and each course syllabus reminds them of their pledge to honor the code. Clinical skills exams are administered on-campus by the faculty. Faculty use Turnitin & Safe Assign for papers. Faculty limit the amount of time a test is open, prevent multiple openings, and track student time on the exams. . The Academic Integrity Office manages the process and an Academic Integrity Council administers all procedures associated with the Code. The George Washington University belongs to The International Center for Academic Integrity, which is based on the Clemson University campus and is affiliated with the Rutland Institute for Ethics.
