Our Approach to Academic Integrity

Academic support should help students understand their work, develop their skills and improve their own writing. Every student is responsible for following the academic-integrity policies of their institution.

Academic Integrity Principles

Student Authorship

Students must retain responsibility for their own research, reasoning, analysis and assessed submissions. Our service descriptions should clearly explain what assistance is offered and what remains the student’s responsibility.

Feedback and Editing

Feedback, proofreading and editing should improve clarity and presentation without misrepresenting who produced the academic work or replacing the student’s contribution.

Research and Referencing

Students should cite sources accurately, represent evidence honestly and follow the instructions supplied by their university.

Institutional Requirements

Policies differ between institutions and assessments. Students should check whether a particular form of external support is permitted before requesting it.
