Examples of punishable offences include: plagiarism and unauthorized co-operation or collaboration. Information on this policy may be found here.
Plagiarism: As defined by Senate, plagiarism is presenting, whether intentional or not, the ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as ones own. Such reported offences will be reviewed by the office of the Dean of Science.
Unauthorized Co-operation or Collaboration: Senate policy states that to ensure fairness and equity in assessment of term work, students shall not co-operate or collaborate in the completion of an academic assignment, in whole or in part, when the instructor has indicated that the assignment is to be completed on an individual basis. Please refer to the course outline statement or the instructor concerning this issue.
