Academic misconduct is a growing problem on college campuses. A student’s academic life on campus can take a dark turn if a student does not manage their workload, engagement, or time management well. These variables can overlap if a student is overwhelmed, under-engaged, and busy. A heavy workload can result in a lack of engagement at a student’s institution. Institutions can help students develop strategies that provide a foundation for healthy engagement habits that work against academic dishonesty. Academic success can be affected by
students’ time management skills in mitigating the effects of time pressure. Institutions can help students combat a heavy workload with academic campus resources such as writing centers, peer mentors, and advising. These variables can then lead to a student engaging in academic misconduct if they are under-engaged, overly busy, and have poor time management skills.
