All theses written by WULS- SGGW students are controlled for the originality with the use of digital texts verification system. They are protected by procedures ensuring safety standards at the highest level and the strategy provides an appropriate level of quality of education. The Certificate authorizes the university to issue each graduate  the diploma Uberrima Fide

The ceremony was preceded by a seminar, of which the theme concerned an amendment to the Law on Higher Education and significant legislative changes related to it, concerning the prevention of plagiarism. Both the presentation and the accompanying discussion focused on the consequences of changes in the Law on Higher Education related to the control of anti-plagiarism, so it concerned the introduction of the obligation to check theses with anti-plagiarism programs and the creation of a nationwide repository of theses, which is to be a base reference for anti-plagiarism systems.

In addition to the undeniable positive result of the changes, such as the protection system against uncontrolled reproduction and reuse of all theses, which creates an opportunity for a radical reduction of pathology in the higher education system, such as trading of theses or writing ordered papers, the participants of the discussion also pointed out the dangers. They mentioned the  lack of statutory definition and of anti-plagiarism control standards, which may lead the universities to choose the least expensive solutions that meet the requirements of the Act, and hence, to a drastic reduction in the quality of the services on the Polish market. The discussants pointed out that due to ongoing work on the bill, it is still possible to remedy this defect legislation. During the conference, the positive consequences of the use of tools for the quality of education were presented, primarily of the anti-plagiarism system, highlighting the key issues of the quality of used tools.
