At Mohawk College, Academic Integrity, is a shared commitment that serves as a key measure of your academic success. It requires all members of the Mohawk College community to act ethically and hold one another accountable to six core values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. A breach of these values is a disruption to the learning environment and undermines these values.  

To learn more about Academic Integrity at Mohawk College, please review our Academic Integrity Policy, read our Guide for Students and enrol in our Introductory Academic Integrity Course for Students.   

 

Orientation Activities

Get ready for the fun side of Orientation! Join us for exciting in-person activities featuring games, prizes, giveaways, and opportunities to connect with fellow students and upper-semester student leaders. 

Don't miss the Annual M-Cup Challenge & Pre-Party, where teams will battle it out "into the grid" for campus bragging rights. Whether you're competing or cheering from the sidelines, it's a great way to meet new people, show your school spirit, and kick off the semester with energy and excitement. ALL students from any campus are welcome to join!
