INTEGRITY & COMPLIANCE

Academic Policies

At GHGMI, our academic policies include an honor pledge covering our honor code, plus policies focusing on examinations, non-discrimination, privacy, communication, and copyrights and ownerships.

We reserve the right to make changes to these policies at any time.

Understanding of Copyright & Ownership

All content and material provided by the GHG Management Institute is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the GHG Management Institute and its partner organizations. Learners agree not to transfer any Institute material to any third party without exclusive permission from the Institute. Students agree to comply with restrictions regarding the use of copyrighted material pursuant to copyright laws and to take reasonable care to guard and protect all material in their possession.

Honor Code Policies

What does the Honor Code mean? The Honor Code is intended to support and enforce course policies at the GHG Management Institute. The Honor Code holds that learners are honorable and trustworthy people and encourages them to behave with integrity. Learners are responsible for understanding the Honor Code and its implementation. Individuals found in severe breach of the Honor Code will be expelled from all current and future classes, have any certificates or accreditation previously awarded revoked, and be publicly cited on the Institute’s website.

If a learner feels that their instructor is not doing what the Honor Code calls for, the learner should contact the instructor or the Dean of the Institute.

To take exams, learners must sign the Institute’s Policies and Honor Code form. After exams, learners must sign the Honor Pledge, stating that they have not given nor received any outside assistance on any exam, including, but not limited to, any printed, audio, or electronic materials or assistance from any individual. The Institute reserves the right to expel any learner who violates the Honor Code.

a. Removal from all Institute training programs, with no refund of any fees paid to the Institute; and/or
b. Notifying third parties of the violation, such as my employer and/or my sponsoring organization.

Waivers

By enrolling in a GHG Management Institute course or by taking an Institute examination, I agree to hold the Institute harmless from and against any such damages and waive any right that I may have to assert a claim against the Institute, including for invasion of privacy or interference with business relations.

Additional Policies

GHGMI Examination Policy

Exams are to be completed in the time allotted in the exam instructions, without exception. The exam must be completed in a single continuous time period of two hours. Learners must complete a course to be eligible to take an exam for a Certificate of Proficiency. Exceptions to this rule will only be made in exceptional circumstances.

Exams are available only via the Internet. Students are eligible to take exams after a Policies and Honor Code form is signed. GHG Management Institute Certificates of Proficiency are awarded when a learner scores 70% or above on any exam. Failed exams may be retaken in four weeks. Learners will be permitted one additional opportunity to take and pass an exam.

Results are available four to six weeks after an exam has been submitted. Learners will be contacted by the Registrar via email informing them if they have passed an exam. If they have passed, they will be provided with a PDF of a printable Certificate of Proficiency as well as a letter with feedback on their exam. In order to maintain the academic integrity of the exam process, GHGMI does not provide copies of completed examinations.
