Academic Integrity - UNLV is first and foremost an academic community, with its fundamental purpose the pursuit of learning and student development. UNLV believes that any instance of academic misconduct hurts the entire community, and that the values of honesty, trust, respect, fairness, responsibility and professionalism are paramount. Therefore, to uphold and support standards of personal honesty and integrity for all members of the campus community consistent with the goals of a community of scholars and students seeking knowledge, it will be the policy of UNLV to enforce standards through fair and objective procedures governing instances of alleged student academic misconduct.

Such an environment is essential in fostering intellectual growth and achievement. Each member of the University shares the responsibility of maintaining conditions conducive to the achievement of the University’s purpose. The UNLV Student Conduct Code is designed to provide basic standards to ensure a means to fulfill this purpose.
