Academic Integrity at the University of South Carolina is a campus culture that is
upheld by the standards established by the Honor Code. Instances of Cheating, Complicity,
Falsification, and Plagiarism are taken seriously, and this office aims to hold students
accountable when violations of these policies occur.
Here are some quotes from Gamecocks over years on why academic integrity is important
to them:
Academic integrity Is important because it creates an environment with integrity and
stability. We will use academic integrity not only while in college but after college
as well. Throughout college we will continue to put in countless hours of work and
in the end that work has value.
USC Student
Academic integrity is essential because it shows that even if you are struggling or
succeeding, you are committed to ensuring that the education you get is earned and
that you can avoid devaluing your degree.
USC Student
Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
