At TGAL Academy, we uphold the highest standards of academic integrity. Cheating undermines the values of honesty, integrity, and personal responsibility that we strive to instill in our students. Therefore, we have strict policies in place to deter and address instances of academic dishonesty.

Clear Expectations:
On the first day of each class, our teachers provide comprehensive explanations about cheating and the consequences of dishonest behavior. Additionally, for classes that involve written assignments, students are educated on the distinction between plagiarism and summarization to promote ethical academic practices.

Prevention Measures:
To ensure fairness and maintain academic rigor, we utilize Turnitin software and incorporate unique, custom questions in assessments to detect cheating attempts effectively. Any evidence of cheating will result in a zero score for the assignment.

Consequences:
Students found guilty of cheating will not only receive a zero on the affected assignment but will also be required to pay a fee of $100 or $200 (for reports) if they wish to retake the exam, demonstrating their commitment to academic honesty. It’s essential to understand that cheating jeopardizes not only academic success but also opportunities for college recommendations and recognition, such as the Diploma of Excellence.

We believe in fostering a culture of integrity and accountability, where students are empowered to succeed through honest effort and dedication. Let’s uphold the values of academic honesty and strive for excellence together.
