Plagiarism Prevention Resources

(A) Academic, Professional, and Personal Integrity (extracted from NUS Code of Student Conduct)

  • The University is committed to nurturing an environment conducive for the exchange of
    ideas, advancement of knowledge and intellectual development. Academic honesty and
    integrity are essential conditions for the pursuit and acquisition of knowledge, and the
    University expects each student to maintain and uphold the highest standards of integrity
    and academic honesty at all times.

  • The University takes a strict view of cheating in any form, deceptive fabrication, plagiarism
    and violation of intellectual property and copyright laws. Any student who is found to have
    engaged in such misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action by the University. Such
    misconduct will include, but is not limited to, the misuse of content or language generated
    by artificial intelligence (AI) computer programmes.

  • It is important to note that all students share the responsibility of protecting the academic
    standards and reputation of the University. This responsibility can extend beyond each
    student’s own conduct, and can include reporting incidents of suspected academic
    dishonesty through the appropriate channels. Students who have reasonable grounds to
    suspect academic dishonesty should raise their concerns directly to the relevant Head of
    Department, Dean of Faculty, Registrar, Vice Provost, or Provost.
