What is the International Day of Action Against Contract Cheating?

The International Center for Academic Integrity brings together academic institutions from all over the world to provide webinars, discussions, resources, contests, and more to help students, faculty, and staff understand, avoid, and prevent contract cheating. Download ICAI's Resource Guide here.
