Academic Integrity 

International students are particularly vulnerable to issues associated with academic integrity due to a number of factors, including English being their second language, balancing work and study, the pressure to succeed and the cost of failing. They often lack understanding of plagiarism and have little understanding of anti-cheating laws.
