Academic Integrity policies and procedures
Creating a culture of academic integrity requires efforts on behalf of everyone who is part of the university community: students, faculty, and staff.  Faculty and academic staff have three main responsibilities with regard to academic dishonesty: prevention, detection and response.  The following is a list of relevant University policies, regulations and online resources.

ROASS (Responsibilities of Academic Staff with Regard to Students)
This document provides some specific direction to academic staff with regard to their responsibilities to students. See the following two pertinent sections:

  • Section IV. Discharge of Responsibilities. A. Individual Responsibilities. 2
  • Section IV. Discharge of Responsibilities. A. Individual Responsibilities. 4.b.

General Academic Regulations
The statements on academic dishonesty including "plagiarism and cheating" and "examination personation” referred to in the above ROASS sections are found in the General Academic Regulations of the Academic Calendar

Invigilation of tests and exams
The Final Examination Regulations policy and procedures provide instructions to invigilators. As well, the Student Advocacy office has prepared an online list of Invigilator Frequently Asked Questions.

Student Discipline Bylaw and Procedures
“The Student Discipline Bylaw and related Procedures provide guidance to those individuals charged with administering disciplinary action ("Disciplinary Authority") while, at the same time, outlining the prohibited conduct and the right of appeal” (SCBL, 1.0 Reason for Bylaw)

The Student Discipline website contains helpful information, guidelines, letter templates and sample documents.  Academic administrators and staff should use these resources when handling allegations of academic dishonesty.
