All students at Rutgers University are expected to maintain the highest levels of academic integrity.  The definitions and examples of Cheating or Plagiarism may be understood, but it is also important to understand the meaning of Fabrication, Academic Sabotage, Facilitation of Dishonesty and how to prevent violations of the Academic Integrity Policy.  Violations can result in educational and academic sanctions which can be costly - both in terms of time, money, and future opportunities. 

To maximize academic and post-graduate success, all students are expected to complete the Academic Integrity module available on Canvas.  Once logged into Canvas, the course can be found using the link to enroll or in in the list of Published Courses.

The Learning Centers' Academic Coaching program offers a number of online learning modules on Canvas that can be completed asynchronously on your own time. You will also earn digital badges for completing each of the modules. We currently have online modules for the following topics:

• How to succeed in online courses
• Time management
• Academic integrity

For descriptions on each of the modules and instructions on how to enroll, please visit the Learning Centers' Online Modules page.
