Abstract: Online learning has become an essential mode of education, but it remains vulnerable to academic dishonesty. While previous research has established a connection between student engagement and moral evaluations of dishonest behavior in face-to-face settings, few studies have explored how students assess different forms of dishonesty in online learning environments. This study aims to fill this gap by examining undergraduate students' moral evaluations of academic dishonesty in an online context. A total of 1,547 students from a private higher education institution in the Philippines participated, selected through proportionate stratified random sampling based on sex, year level, and school. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate overall moral assessments, while the Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test were employed to identify demographic differences. The results indicated that students generally view academic dishonesty, including cheating, contract cheating, and plagiarism, as morally wrong in online learning. However, the evaluations varied inconsistently by sex, school, and year level. Based on these findings, academic institutions should prioritize consistent education on cheating, contract cheating, and plagiarism in online learning. It is essential to ensure uniform delivery of this information across schools and departments, while also implementing effective, institution-wide strategies to promote academic integrity.
