Faculty: Student Conduct and Community Standards has created a video discussing what academic integrity is at Wichita State. Please consider showing this quick, three-minute video during the first week of classes or post it on Blackboard for students to see.

The intent behind the video is to supplement what may already be covered in syllabi and raise awareness regarding academic integrity at WSU.

Questions about the video can be sent to SCCS at SCCS@wichita.edu.
