Welcome
The integrity@york website hosts resources aimed at helping students understand what academic integrity is and how to gain the skills needed to reference and approach your essays with confidence.
Referencing the Discussion - online tutorial
An online learning resource has been developed by staff at the adademic support office. This tutorial explores the reasons why we reference and how we can reference with confidence using different referencing styles. It has video, activities, quizzes and downloads. The 4 aims of the tutorial are to help students to understand why, when and how to reference their essays and also to do so with style. Watch this space, its coming soon.

All first year undergraduate students and all new postgraduate students (taught and research) are required to successfully complete the online tutorial, held in Yorkshare VLE, before the end of the first stage or year of their programme of study.
