The College of Engineering has a Statement of Principles of Academic Honesty, Integrity, and Responsibility. This statement is intended to help students understand the importance of academic integrity in their UW experience as well as in their professional practice after graduation. Setting these expectations early may also decrease later incidents of academic misconduct.

Students are introduced to this statement throughout the First Year Experience, including during Advising & Orientation and in their Engineering FIG during their first autumn quarter. Students are invited to sign the statement and acknowledge that they understand the importance of following its expectations.

It is important for faculty and advisers to reinforce these principles of academic honesty and integrity with students during their time at UW. We encourage faculty to remind students of this statement in their course syllabi and in course introductions. Departments should review the statement during departmental orientations for newly placed students.
