Academic Integrity

Why “integrity”? The answer lies in UCA’s mission. That mission commits all the members of the university community to acquiring, sharing, evaluating, and communicating knowledge. It stands to reason that such a mission depends on the integrity of those participating in carrying out the mission – that is, on their participation being honest and ethical. This is a shared responsibility.

Blackboard FAQ (for students)

My instructor says my exam should be open, but it’s not. What should do? If your exam is not available, please contact your instructor first.

I am registered for a course, so why can’t I access it on Blackboard? Blackboard courses are not set to open until the first day of class. If it is on or after the first scheduled day of class and you are still getting an error “Guests are not allowed,” please email desupport@uca.edu with your full name, student ID number, the CRN of your course (the five-digit section number used to register you in the course), and your instructor’s name.
