Academic Integrity Honesty and integrity are valued in all academic activities at Wintec. Plagiarism and academic misconduct are taken very seriously. It is important that any work you submit is your own. Failure to do so will result in harsh penalties. We encourage you to use the information, advice and workshops provided by Wintec. Academic integrity is ultimately your responsibility, but Wintec has a lot of resources to offer help and advice if you need it. If you submit any material for assessment that isn’t our own you are not only missing out on the opportunity to benefit from the education that you’ve enrolled in but you are defrauding Wintec – and disrespecting your fellow students. Wintec has strict provisions on the penalties for academic misconduct
