All master's and doctoral students are required to complete Professional and Scholarly Integrity Training (PSIT) as part of their degree requirements. Students should complete the PSIT requirement as soon as possible, preferably within the first year of your graduate education at Wichita State.
At a minimum, the training covers these four topical areas:
Each department determines how the PSIT requirement is met for students, and if additional training is needed. Some departments add courses to their curriculum, adjust content in existing required courses, or use Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) modules to meet the PSIT requirement.
Some programs may add additional areas of training, if necessary. Programs can either include specific content in courses or use external sources, including CITI modules. View a list of programs that require only the CITI modules.
If you're in one of the following programs, your program decided that your requirement will be met by only completing specific CITI modules. To register, fill out the CITI registration form, log into the CITI website and complete the course titled, "Graduate Student Basic Course." Please note, Anthropology or School Psychology students will select a different course. Registering allows the Graduate School to request your CITI module results and provide them to your department. In order to meet the requirement, you must pass each of the modules.

*Please choose the discipline-specific course from the list in the CITI system, rather than the general Graduate Student Basic RCR course.
If your program isn't listed above, then it uses a different means to meet the PSIT requirement. Some programs may still ask you to complete CITI modules as a part of a graduate-level course, but completion of only those modules will not meet the PSIT requirement. You will not need to fill out the registration form before logging into the CITI site. If you have questions, contact your advisor or the Graduate School at 316-978-3095 for assistance.
