Start by watching this video from SFU to gain a concise overview of what we expect at Andrews University. Pay specific attention to the meaning of academic integrity, plagiarism, cheating and other terms in the video.
Andrews University learning thrives on the rigor of individual investigation, the authentic exchange of ideas, and a corporate commitment to integrity and mutual respect. It requires all members of the academic community to behave honestly—speaking truthfully to colleagues, co-learners and teachers and completing all homework, tests, papers and projects with integrity. Andrews University anchors its practices in the teachings of the Bible as well as in widely-established and honorable academic traditions. Much as the apostle Paul calls us to authenticity in our Christian walk, so the educational institution demands of its participants true and accurate self-representation. In Ephesians, Paul invites believers “to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4:23–24, NRSV). As scholars and as Christ’s servants, we build His living body through our honesty in all things, both small and great.
