Academic integrity and plagiarism have been concerns to the university. The Academic Regulations and Records Office

announced that the number of incidents of academic dishonesty, has increased dramatically.

Best to alert students about the importance of academic integrity at the earliest possible stage and to constantly reinforce its importance to them throughout their studies at CityU. Help students understand why academic integrity is so

important to their study and their future career.
