Morally and spiritually, Southern Adventist University is dedicated to scholastic integrity. The university’s academic community affirms that education involves both the pursuit of knowledge and the formation of character, and that honesty and integrity are essential to the University’s academic mission and Christian commitments. Honesty requires truthfulness in academic work, including the submission of work that reflects independent effort, appropriate acknowledgment of sources, and accurate representation of how assignments are completed. Integrity extends beyond honesty to reflect consistency between values and actions, calling for full engagement in the learning process and the avoidance of shortcuts that undermine intellectual and spiritual growth. Consequently, both students and faculty are required to maintain high, ethical Christian levels of honesty and integrity.
