    Guidelines for Using the Turnitin Software to Determine Plagiarism in University Of Ghana
    (University of Ghana, 2016-09-23) Public Affairs
    Following the approval of the UG Plagiarism policy, the TURNITIN software was introduced in University of Ghana (UG) to facilitate the implementation of the policy. The introduction of the software at UG is one of the means to encourage faculty members, staff and students to abide by one of the core values of University of Ghana, which is Integrity. The use of the software is not intended to be punitive, but rather to provide faculty members, students and staff with the opportunity to identify portions of their work that can be deemed as plagiarized so they can effect the necessary corrections. It is intended to facilitate the process of ensuring academic integrity, which includes duly acknowledging the work or ideas of others. Its use will allow academic staff, students and other members of the University community to gain confidence that work which they submit as original meets the criterion of having a high level of originality.

    Code of Conduct For Academic Staff of the University Of Ghana (March 2011)
    (University of Ghana, 2011-10-28) Public Affairs
    Established in 1948, the University of Ghana is reputed as one of the leading Universities in Africa, and has over the years produced graduates of high calibre, to occupy influential positions in Ghana and various parts of the world. This has been in conformity with the University’s mission namely, to produce world-class human resources and capabilities to meet national development needs and global challenges through quality teaching, learning, research and knowledge dissemination. In order to foster and strengthen adherence to the University statutes, regulations and bye-laws, and maintain high standards of integrity in the prosecution of the University’s mission, a code of conduct is considered crucial. The University’s motto, Integri Procedamus, ‘We Proceed in Integrity,’ presumes a fundamental conviction that success in any intellectual endeavour is of little value if it is not founded on high moral values. This Code of Conduct is thus meant to regulate the conduct and behaviour of Senior Members of the University in order to maintain high standards in work output, and enhance public trust and confidence in the University’s deliberations. The Code is largely informed by past and contemporary events, experiences and observations in the University, that have raised issues of integrity, work culture, and general standards of behaviour, considered subversive of discipline in an institution of high learning. The guidelines are generally consistent with the University’s statutes and regulations, as well as observations by various Committees instituted by the University to examine issues bordering on ethics and discipline. The Code is largely applicable to academic Senior Members of the University. However, until a separate code is designed for non-academic Senior Members, relevant sections of this Code shall apply. The Code may be reviewed every five (5) years.
