ACADEMIC
INTEGRITY STATEMENT
Academic
integrity is essential to the pursuit of learning and scholarship in a
university, and to ensuring that a degree from the University of Toronto is a
strong signal of each student's individual academic achievement. As a result,
the University treats cases of cheating and plagiarism very seriously. The University of Toronto's Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters
(http://www.governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/policies/behaveac.htm) outlines the behaviours that constitute academic dishonesty and the
processes for addressing academic offences.
Potential offences include, but are not limited to:
IN PAPERS
AND ASSIGNMENTS:Using someone else's ideas or words
without appropriate acknowledgement. Submitting your own work in more than one
course without the permission of the instructor. Making up sources or facts.Obtaining or providing unauthorized assistance on any
assignment.
ON TESTS
AND EXAMS: Using or possessing unauthorized aids.Looking
at someone else's answers during an exam or test. Misrepresenting your
identity.
IN ACADEMIC
WORK: Falsifying institutional documents or grades. Falsifying or altering any
documentation required by the University, including (but not limited to)
doctor's notes. All suspected cases of academic dishonesty will be investigated
following procedures outlined in the Code of Behaviour
on Academic Matters. If you have questions or concerns about what constitutes
appropriate academic behaviour or appropriate
research and citation methods, you are expected to seek out additional
information on academic integrity from your instructor or from other
institutional resources (see
http://www.utoronto.ca/academicintegrity/resourcesfor students.html).
