INTEGRITY & COMPLIANCE

Academic Policies

At the GHG Management Institute, our academic policies include an Honor Code as well as policies related to examinations, non-discrimination, privacy, communication, and copyright and ownership.

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

GHGMI HONOR CODE

Honor Code Policies

Learners are responsible for understanding the Honor Code and its implementation. Individuals found in breach of the Honor Code may face serious consequences, including expulsion from all current and future classes, revocation of any certificates or accreditation previously awarded, and be publicly cited on the Institute’s website. Instances of Honor Code violations will be reviewed by the Institute and appropriate disciplinary action decided-upon on a case-by-case basis.

If a learner is concerned that their instructor is not adhering to the Honor Code (e.g., sharing exam questions with a learner), the learner should contact the Registrar (registrar@ghginstitute.org).

Prior to starting any examination, learners must review the Institute’s Academic Policies. By starting an examination, learners implicitly agree to abide by the Institute’s Honor Code and other academic policies. The Honor Code is enforced at all times. The Institute reserves the right to expel any learner who violates the Honor Code.

The Honor Code is intended to:

support and enforce academic policies at the GHG Management Institute. The Honor Code holds learners accountable, honorable, and trustworthy, and ultimately encourages them to behave with integrity.

The learner agrees to the following:

You agree that you have not given nor received any outside assistance on any exam including, but not limited to: any printed, audio, or electronic materials, assistance from any individual, or the use of artificial intelligence (AI). By taking the exam, you understand that plagiarizing material from ANY source is strictly prohibited and is a direct violation of the Honor Code.

Honor Code Violations

If a learner is found to be in violation of the Honor Code, the Institute will initiate a formal review of the infractions, including evidence thereof, and determine any consequences on a case-by-case basis. The learner will be given an opportunity to share their explanation of events. After considering a learner’s explanation, if the Institute, in its sole discretion, determines that the learner has in fact violated the Honor Code, the learner agrees and acknowledges that the Institute may take certain remedial actions.

These remedial actions include, but are not limited to:

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 employers and/or sponsoring organizations.

Waivers

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

Agreement

The learner agrees with the following statement:

I warrant and represent that I am free to enter into this agreement. My enrollment into any GHG Management Institute course or examination certifies that I have read, understood, and agreed to the Honor Code and other academic polices.

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.

Additional Policies

GHGMI Examination Policy

Exams are to be completed within the time allotted in the exam instructions. If a learner needs additional time for an exam due to a language barrier, they may email the Registrar (registrar@ghginstitute.org) with their request. The Registrar reserves the right to permit or refuse such requests.

Courses and exams are only available only in an online format via the Internet (meaning, no hard copies or printed material will be provided). The GHG Management Institute awards a Certificate of Proficiency when a learner scores 70% or above on any exam. Learners will be notified of any failed exam attempts, at which point the learner will be provided a second attempt, which is included in their initial tuition fee. Additional third, fourth, fifth, etc. attempts on any exam may be purchased for USD $50 per attempt.

If a learner passes an exam, Certificates of Proficiency and Feedback Letters, both in PDF format, will be delivered to the learner via email within four to six weeks after an exam has been submitted. In order to maintain the academic integrity of the exam process, GHGMI does not provide copies of completed examinations. GHGMI also does not provide hard copies of any Certificates, though the learner is welcome to print their own Certificate.
