Our Program
In 2017, the Academic Dishonesty (DA) Program evolved to become the Academic Integrity Program.
The purpose of this program is to strengthen the academic integrity at Tecnológico de Monterrey, through a set of actions oriented to raise awareness and educate the community about integrity, to contribute to responsible action in all contexts of institutional life.
Our mission is to promote a positive approach to issues related to academic honesty and strengthen our commitment to academic excellence.
It is the habit of conducting oneself with the truth and of being consistent. In the academic field it is reflected in the commitment to your training process regarding what you know and what you need to learn.
It is the ability to act in accordance with one's own values and convictions, despite fear. Courage can be developed in environments where it is tested; the day-to-day life presents opportunities to make decisions, learn from them, and grow.
It is the ability to be responsible and accountable for your own decisions, actions and omissions in your academic life.
Recognize your own value and that of others, not treating others as a means to achieve your goals. In the teaching-learning process, collaborative work depends on mutual respect and our ability to fulfill the agreements we make.
It is a value that gives individuals the ability, not only to recognize, but to carry out a previously agreed task or action. This responsibility enables the execution of this activity in pursuit of collective benefit. In other words, it is the ability to act with the personal and professional virtues required for personal growth, the correct exercise of a profession and the development of citizenship.
It involves recognizing that all people deserve equal consideration and respect. In the academic field it means giving credit to the work of others, not demanding preferential treatment, knowing the rules and following them.
It is the harmony between beliefs, decisions and actions, and the continuous adherence to values and principles. You act with coherence and consistency when you always proceed in accordance with your own principles and values, but which have the common good as their main goal. Incoherence, on the other hand, is the basis of simulation and deception.

Dimension of Education in Integrity
It is in charge of carrying out activities aimed at educating and raising awareness about academic integrity.
The role that supports these activities is the Ambassador of Academic Integrity.
Academic Integrity Ambassadors.
They are professors who serve as spokespersons and advisors for the program on campus. They carry out activities aimed to raise awareness about the importance of integrity and prevent breaches of academic integrity. They work together with the Campus Academic Integrity Committees (CIAC) to provide guidance to students who have committed breaches of academic integrity. We currently have 22 Academic Integrity Ambassadors.
Dimension for Managing Breaches of Academic Integrity
It defines the operating standards of the program, addresses, and provides follow-up on breaches of academic integrity (FIA, by its acronym in Spanish) committed by students.
The faculty who carries out this activity is part of the Campus Academic Integrity Committee (CIAC, by its acronym in Spanish) and the National Academic Integrity Committee (CIAN, by its acronym in Spanish).
Campus Academic Integrity Committees (CIAC)
They are groups of teachers and collaborators responsible for analyzing and deliberating on cases of breaches of academic integrity. They are in charge of determining the consequences applicable to students who commit breaches of academic integrity, ensuring at all times that these are formative rather than punitive. We currently have 220 professors who are part of 32 Campus Academic Integrity Committees (CIAC).
National Academic Integrity Committee (CIAN)
It is the group of teachers and collaborators in charge of analyzing and resolving appeal cases presented by students who have committed breaches of academic integrity and who have been sanctioned with a temporary suspension or permanent withdrawal from the Institution.
Commitment to Integrity
Be part of the community that lives by the principles of integrity.
