Academic integrity at ECU is guided by the following principles:
• Academic integrity is fundamental to learning, teaching, scholarship and research at the
University.
• Academic integrity involves the ongoing fostering of a complex network of strategies and
responsibilities across the University community.
• The University is committed to providing an educational approach to academic integrity,
recognising that students need to be supported to develop and demonstrate academic
skills.
• Academic integrity allows students and staff the freedom to build new ideas,
scholarship, knowledge and creative works while respecting and acknowledging the
work of others.
Edith Cowan University acknowledges and respects the Noongar people, who are
the traditional custodians of the land upon which its campuses stand and its programs
operate.
In particular ECU pays its respects to the Elders, past and present, of the Noongar
people, and embrace their culture, wisdom and knowledge.
