Measures to instill academic integrity (as submitted by school)
We do not use tests at JIU; test taking integrity in our 100% online format is difficult to manage without proctored test sites. For coursework, which does include papers, case studies, and large projects, JIU provides access to TurnItIn.com (for originality checking) for all students and faculty. Faculty members require students to submit their course-work through this system and include the originality report with their assignment.
