Academic Integrity Training
The Academic Integrity Office (AIO) believes that all of us make mistakes and that mistakes offer us chances to learn. Academic Integrity violations are no different, and that is why we developed Academic Integrity (AI) Training. These trainings offer a space for students to reflect on and grow from their experience.
Our instructors, peer educators and mentors facilitate opportunities to process what has happened and to develop life-long skills and knowledge that will serve our students throughout their time at UC San Diego and beyond.
Students navigate through their requirements on our Canvas site, and trainings are conducted in-person with our caring and dedicated student and professional staff.
AI Training and/or Suspension Preparation
All students begin with a set of AI Training or Suspension Preparation requirements, which are designed to help students begin reflecting as well as to provide a chance to spend some time with a peer to ask questions and better understand the trainings and what will be expected. We want the trainings to be a positive learning experience for all students, and AI Training Preparation is a great way to be ready to make the most out of them.
For students facing a suspension, the Suspension Preparation also helps them start thinking about how to use the time away from UC San Diego productively. Once all Preparation requirements have been completed, students can enroll in their other trainings.
Preparation includes:
Pre-AI Training Assessment
This questionnaire takes approximately 20-minutes to complete.
Telling Your Story (TYS) Assignment
The TYS is written as a letter to someone you respect or admire. Writing this gives you the space and opportunity to reflect on the situation and the factors that led to it. It will also allow you to start thinking about what you could have been done differently and to think about and ask questions about your violation or the future impact of the violation.
You will use the AI Training Preparation TYS instructions if you’ve been assigned AI Seminar, IMP, and other workshops.
You will use the Suspension Preparation TYS instructions if you’ve been assigned Suspension with or without AI Trainings (but not including IMP).
1:1 Meeting with a Student Staff Member (20 minutes)
In this meeting, you will review and discuss the TYS. You will also review your sanction letter with the student staff member, discuss the sanctions so that you understand the expectations, and have a chance to get your questions answered. We also hope this will be a chance to alleviate any worries you might have about what lies ahead.
Additional Training Requirements
In addition to AI Training and/or Suspension Preparation, you may be assigned to one or more of the following AI Trainings to complete:
