Academic Integrity Policy
Ancient Knowledge Institute is committed to responsible, respectful and intellectually honest study of ancient knowledge, wisdom traditions, sacred texts, civilisations, symbols, rituals, mysticism and esoteric materials.
Responsible Learning
Learners are expected to approach ancient traditions with respect, curiosity, cultural sensitivity and a commitment to distinguishing evidence, interpretation and speculation.
Source Awareness
- Students should identify whether information comes from a primary source, translation, commentary, academic interpretation or modern reconstruction.
- Unsupported claims should not be presented as verified historical facts.
- Different traditions should not be forced into artificial sameness.
Original Work
Assignments, reflections, projects and certificate submissions should be the learner’s own work. Plagiarism, impersonation, purchased submissions or copied work may lead to certificate denial or access suspension.
Use of AI Tools
AI tools may support drafting, translation or study when permitted, but learners remain responsible for accuracy, originality and proper use. AI-generated work should not be submitted as personal research without review and disclosure where required.
Cultural Respect
Living traditions, sacred texts, indigenous knowledge and spiritual practices should be studied with care. The Institute does not encourage disrespectful appropriation, sensationalism or misuse of sacred material.
Certificates
Certificates may require lesson completion, reading activity, quizzes, assignments or project work. Dishonest completion activity may result in denial or cancellation of a certificate.
Corrections and Updates
The Institute may update course materials when errors, improved sources, translation issues or better explanations are identified.
