Frequently asked questions

Is an Academic Integrity Policy Acknowledgment legally binding?

It is a contractual acknowledgment that the student has received and understood the policy. While it strengthens your position in disputes, it is not a substitute for a comprehensive policy and should be used alongside your full institutional policy.

Can I use this for online courses?

Yes, the acknowledgment can be adapted for online learning platforms. You can include digital signature options and references to online proctoring or AI use policies as applicable.

What if a student refuses to sign?

If a student refuses to sign, document the refusal and consider whether to allow enrollment. Many institutions require acknowledgment as a condition of participation. Consult your legal counsel for specific guidance.
