Distance higher education has expanded significantly with the development of digital technology and online learning platforms. However, the increasing use of e-learning systems has also raised concerns about academic integrity. This study analyzes academic dishonesty among students in distance higher education using the case of an e-learning system. The research employed a survey method combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, supported by observations of student academic performance in an online learning platform. The participants consisted of 100 students and 3 lecturers selected from three study programs: Government Science, Business Administration, and Taxation. The results show that academic dishonesty, particularly plagiarism in discussion forums and assignments, remains prevalent in distance learning environments. The primary causes include limited understanding of academic writing, low reading motivation, and the tendency to choose shortcut methods in completing academic tasks. The study also finds that lecturers play an important role in reducing dishonest practices by enforcing academic writing rules and encouraging students to revise their work. Strengthening academic integrity policies and improving students’ academic literacy are crucial to maintaining the quality and credibility of distance higher education
