Academic Integrity Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Our commitment: CampusMaterials is built to support genuine learning — not to enable academic dishonesty. Every feature of our platform is designed with this principle at its core.

Our Philosophy

We believe that access to high-quality academic materials democratises education across Africa. Sharing past exams, lecture notes, and study resources is a legitimate and time-honoured form of academic support. CampusMaterials exists to make this sharing structured, safe, and beneficial to all students.
