Academic Integrity and Student Confidentiality

We take academic integrity seriously, so if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Office of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies at https://ist.psu.edu/about/offices/grad-undergrad.

Also, you may see a ‘confidentiality’ indicator in Canvas next to a student name–If a student formally requests confidentiality, that person’s roster entry appears to instructors flagged in with an asterisks. If you have any confidential students, you will need to ask the student to use the Canvas request form to join teams.

You can find more information at the following:
