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.

Universal Pre-Requisites

All students begin with a set of Universal Pre-reqs, 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 the pre-reqs are a great way to prepare to make the most out of them. Once all Universal Pre-reqs have been completed, students can enroll in their other trainings. 

Pre-requisites include:

Pre-AI Training Assessment

This questionnaire takes approximately 20-minutes to complete.

Telling Your Story (TYS) Assignment

The TYS (PDF) 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.​

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.
