To address proactively and positively the abuses of academic integrity, the college has adopted and will implement the following policy

• Upon enrolment all students will be issued with a Statement on Academic Integrity.
• This statement should help students familiarise themselves with their responsibilities when submitting work for assessment and understand the implications in the event of LCPS's assessment rules and regulations being disobeyed.
• The best interests of each student will be served in reading the Statement on Academic Integrity and subsequently following LCPS assessment rules and regulations.
• The policy will be distributed through:

• Staff Guidelines.
• Incorporating staff development and training to promote more fully a continuum of learning and teaching.
• Identifying models of "good practice" to enable staff to minimise the opportunities for students to develop poor academic practice.
• Creating an environment that discourages and disapproves of plagiarism by providing students with continuous support and guidance throughout their time at the College.
• Demonstrating good academic practice and values to students by tutors through professional good practice to reinforce the policy.
• Detecting cases of bad academic practice or plagiarism so as to safeguard the reputation of the College and the academic progress of the student.
