University of Maryland University College (UMUC) has adopted a Philosophy of Academic Integrity (-
students/learning-resources/academic-integrity/philosophy.cfm) to guide the university’s commitment to a culture of academic
integrity and authentic education encompassing a set of dispositions and behaviors that are socially beneficial, educationally critical,
and professionally necessary.
All members of the University community must maintain the highest level of integrity across the academic experience. For students,
intellectually honest academic work represents independent analysis, acknowledges all sources of information that contribute to the
ideas being explored, and ensures the ability to engage in life and work authentically. Your instructor is your primary resource for how
to uphold the highest ethical standards in the context of this course’s specific requirements.
Your instructor and other UMUC staff may use Turnitin or other technology resources to support the development and assessment of
authentic student writing. To learn more about Turnitin, the feedback it provides, and your options regarding the inclusion of your work
in the Turnitin database, visit University guides for Turnitin at umuc.edu/library/libresources/turnitin-students.cfm
