Campus Visit

Academic Integrity

This Certification offering is delivered online with one campus visit for skills assessment and award of certification. Participants are expected to view the online lecture and demonstration video, review the handouts, and complete checkpoint assessments. Prior to receipt of certification, participation in a UNMC College of Pharmacy campus visit is required. This visit may be virtual or physical at our Omaha campus at S. 42nd Street and Emile Omaha, NE.

While this is a complete at your own pace offering, a 90-day completion time is expected. However, we recognize that special circumstances may warrant an extension on completion time.

Maintaining academic integrity is a vital concern of the College of Pharmacy and the UNMC academic community at large. Without strict adherence to the standards of academic integrity, the teaching and learning environment loses validity. Honesty and integrity are a major part of the fabric of professional and ethical standards. An individual claiming to follow professional and ethical codes of conduct would also be expected to adhere to the standards of academic integrity.
