In higher education institutions, students must learn, understand and follow the principles and the core values of academic integrity/commitment to ethics, i.e. “doing the right things” in the institutional campus. In addition, students should be provided with useful information about the institutional regulations and their rights and responsibilities.
I think that the concept of Academic Integrity need to be defined. The definition of the Academic Integrity is defined by The International Center for Academic Integrity (http://www.academicintegrity.org/icai/assets/Revised_FV_2014.pdf) as the academic integrity is a commitment to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility.
It is believed that these five values, plus the courage to act on them even in the face of adversity, are truly foundational to the academy. Without them, everything that we do in our capacities as teachers, learners, and researchers loses value and becomes suspect.

Dear All
Many teachers, students, and administrators embrace the principles of academic integrity because they know that the goals of teaching, learning, and research can only be accomplished in environments in which ethical standards are upheld. It is still rare, however, for scholarly institutions to identify and describe their commitment to the principles of integrity in positive conceptual and practical terms. Instead, it is more common to find the subject of academic integrity addressed by identifying and prohibiting behaviors that run counter to the principles of integrity.

An academic community of integrity advances the quest for truth and knowledge by requiring intellectual and personal honesty in learning, teaching, research, and service.
