As a reputable institution of higher learning, Pioneer College places Academic Integrity at the highest
pedestal of our Code of Conduct.
Academic integrity refers to the ethical principles and values that govern the pursuit of knowledge, learning, and scholarly work within an educational setting. It encompasses a set of moral and intellectual standards that guide students, researchers, and scholars in their academic endeavours.
Academic integrity promotes honesty, fairness, transparency, and accountability in all aspects of academic work. Following are the integral elements of Academic Integrity.
• Plagiarism: I will not engage in any form of plagiarism, including presenting someone else’s work, ideas, or words as my own without proper citation. I understand that academic integrity requires me to give credit to the original sources of information, adhere to proper citation standards, and avoid any act that compromises the authenticity and originality of academic work.
• Cheating: I will not engage in any form of cheating, such as using unauthorized materials or aids during exams or assignments, obtaining or providing unauthorized assistance, or engaging in any dishonest practice that undermines the fairness of evaluations. I will uphold the principles of fairness, honesty, and merit in all academic endeavours.
• Collaboration: I will respect the guidelines set by instructors regarding collaboration
on assignments or projects. I understand that collaborative work is encouraged in certain circumstances, but I will always give credit to my collaborators, acknowledge their contributions, and maintain the integrity of my own work.
• Academic Honesty: I will strive to complete all academic work with honesty, integrity, and originality. I will not fabricate or falsify data, information, or sources, and I will adhere to the rules, regulations, and academic standards set by Pioneer College.

respect, fairness, and dignity. I will value the diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas, and foster an inclusive and supportive environment that embraces the richness of our differences. I will refrain from engaging in any form of discrimination, harassment, or disrespectful behaviour towards others.
• Ethical Conduct: I will uphold the highest ethical standards in my interactions and activities within the college community. I will demonstrate professionalism, integrity, and honesty in all my actions, both inside and outside the classroom. I will adhere to the college’s policies, guidelines, and codes of conduct.

I will express my opinions and ideas in a manner that encourages intellectual growth and understanding.

the college.
