Academic Integrity Policy

Academic integrity is a basic pillar for achieving academic success and excellence. These values include the trainee’s commitment to honesty and respect for the intellectual efforts of the Center and others. The trainee must move away from all forms of fraud, forgery, and impersonation, as these practices are considered a violation of the concept of academic integrity.

Academic integrity is the basis of society, determines the credibility of individuals in their dealings, and influences the trust people place in officials in senior positions. The trainee’s commitment to academic integrity reflects his investment in his future. If the values of integrity are not respected, the real feasibility of education and training fades.

Responsibly, the trainee must be aware that academic integrity is essential to preserving the value of the education he has endeavored to attain. Integrity promotes the value of the testimony it receives and contributes to building a society based on high ethics and principles.
