Students will complete the Academic Integrity Module and then place the certificate in the Assignment Folder.  Please note that no points are earned toward the final grade but you are expected to complete the module, submit the Certificate of Completion and a Statement of Understanding to the Assignment Folder in Week 1.

The Statement of Understanding is a two paragraph personal statement that:

• Provides your understanding of Academic Integrity module
• Provides your understanding of what is expected when you submit any and all work for a grade followed by a statement that you are committed to upholding academic integrity in completing all work in the course

This assignment has to be submitted in order to receive a grade for Assignment 1.  Faculty will apply the late assignment policy to Assignment 1 if the Academic Integrity module certificate and Statement of Understanding are not submitted to the Assignment Folder before Assignment 1 is due.
