Harvard’s Academic Integrity Policy emphasizes honesty and responsibility in all academic work. Students must correctly acknowledge sources, avoid plagiarism, and produce original work. Cheating, falsifying data, submitting someone else's work, or assisting others in dishonest acts are violations. The policy promotes a culture of trust and fairness, holding students accountable through clear consequences if violations occur. Its goal is to uphold the value of genuine learning, ensuring that academic achievements truly reflect individual effort and integrity.
