Academic Integrity Tutorial

Welcome to the Academic Integrity Tutorial. This interactive tutorial will:

  • outline your responsibilities related to academic integrity
  • help you understand and avoid issues of plagiarism and academic misconduct
  • describe how to properly cite your sources
  • direct you to valuable resources and tools

NOTE: College policy on the use of Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) as an addition to the Academic Integrity Tutorial.

  • Instructors should provide written clarification about the acceptable use of GenAI tools to support the completion of course requirements (e.g., assignments, projects).
  • If there is no written clarification in your course workplan or Brightspace course about the acceptable use of GenAI, you should assume that it is NOT permitted. Use of GenAI, when permission has not been given, may be found to be in violation of the Academic Integrity Policy with consequences as outlined in the Policy.
  • If you're in doubt about whether or not a GenAI tool can be used for a particular assignment, you should always ask your instructor.
  • You must acknowledge the use of GenAI outputs and properly cite the source following the citation style as directed by your Instructor, e.g., APA citation style. The NSCC Libraries' APA Style Guide is a great place to start or check with your Campus Library for help.
