Academic
Integrity at
MIT: Expectations
of All Students
As an MIT student,
you are a member
of the Institute’s
academy of students,
teachers, scientists,
humanists, and
engineers, working
together to fulfill
a mission “to
advance knowledge
and educate students
in science, technology,
and other areas
of scholarship
that will best
serve the nation
and the world
in the 21st century.” Being
a member of this
community bestows
great privilege—and great responsibility. MIT
expects all students
to uphold high
standards of
academic honesty
and personal
conduct.
What
is academic
integrity?
It can be difficult
to concretely
define something
so abstract.
However, the
The
Center for Academic
Integrity offers
the following
concise definition: “a
commitment, even
in the face of
adversity, to
five fundamental
values: honesty,
trust, fairness,
respect, and
responsibility… that
enable academic
communities to
translate ideals
to action.”1 As
an MIT student,
it is imperative
to understand
the principles
of academic integrity
and why it is
important.
