Welcome to the Academic Integrity Responsibilities Office (AIRO) at Penn State. We are committed to upholding the values of honesty, fairness, and responsibility in all academic work. Our office supports students, faculty, and staff in understanding and applying academic integrity principles across the university community. We are here to provide guidance, resources, and a fair process to ensure that integrity remains at the core of the Penn State experience.
Many people, policies, and units work together to form the foundation of the academic integrity culture at Penn State.
AI can influence how students approach learning, studying, and problem‑solving, as well as how instructors assess and support student work. AI-enabled tools must be used ethically and responsibly in order to positively impact learning outcomes.
The Academic Integrity Process at Penn State is designed to give educators and students a standardized way to review claims of academic integrity violations, and it enables the University to track the claims.
The claims system is for both instructors and students. Instructors use this system to report academic integrity violations. Students use the system to respond to allegations of violations.
