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.

Our Structure

The program is structured into two dimensions: one aimed at education and prevention, and the other one at managing breaches of integrity. Two very important roles intervene in each dimension for the operation of the program:

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.
