FI Policies

Code of Conduct & Academic Integrity

Version 2026.11 · Effective 1 November 2026. This code applies to every FI learner, parent, alumni member and partner, in classes, My FI and all FI channels.

What we expect

  • Respect: no harassment, hate speech, bullying or threats, including towards teachers and staff.
  • Your own work: assessments are done by the enrolled learner. No copying, buying work or having someone else take a test. AI tools are allowed only where the task says so.
  • Your own account: one person per account. No sharing log-ins or course access.
  • FI content: lessons and materials are for the enrolled learner only. No reselling, uploading or sharing them outside FI.
  • Honest records: no fake receipts, documents or identity. FI may check documents with the issuer.

What happens if the code is broken

Breach What happens
First minor breach Written warning. For K–12, the parent is informed.
Copying or cheating on an assessment The assessment scores zero and is retaken once. A second time leads to suspension.
Shared account or content Access is paused until fixed. Repeated sharing ends access without FI Credit.
Harassment, threats or fake documents Suspension or removal without FI Credit. A credential issued from fake documents is cancelled.

Every decision can be appealed through Complaints & Appeals. Safety concerns involving children follow the Safeguarding policy.
