Academic Dishonesty
You are expected to exhibit honesty and use ethical behaviour
in all aspects of the learning process. Academic credentials
you earn are rooted in principles of honesty and academic
integrity.
Acamedic dishonesty is to knowingly act or fail to act in a
way that results or could result in unearned academic credit
or advantage. This behaviour can result in serious consequences,
e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with
a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F
assigned for academic dishonesty"), and/or suspension or
expulsion from the university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes
academic dishonesty. For information on the various types
academic dishoesty please refer to the Academic Integrity
Policy, located at
