Elaboration

  1. The College implements a progressive and incremental approach to Penalties, which are based on the severity of the Academic Integrity Violation. If a student receives multiple AIVs, typically the penalties will increase.
    1.  All AIVs, Warnings or Offences, do not appear on student transcripts.
  2. Types of Academic Incident that May Receive a Warning

    1. Copyright infringement.
    2. Not maintaining security of work.
    3. Improper behaviour during a testing situation that potentially results in an unfair advantage.
    4. Loaning work to someone else.
    5. Unauthorized collaboration.
    6. Copying from others or self-copying (i.e., submitting academic work previously submitted to another course that received a grade.)
    7. Unauthorized aids and assistance.
    8. Unscholarly behaviour: Interfering with the ability of another student to successfully complete academic work.
    9. Facilitated Academic Misconduct (i.e., Uploading and sharing any course materials used for evaluation, to a third-party website that is not allowed to be distributed, or uploading one's own academic work to a third-party website that is then taken and submitted by another student for credit.)
  3. The college reserves the rights to file an Offence instead of a warning where the AIV is egregious.
  4. Types of Academic Incident Integrity Violations (AIVs) that Must Receive an Offence

    1. Aiding and Abetting.
    2. Contract Cheating.
    3. Misrepresentation and Fraud.
    4. Plagiarism.
  5. Types of Academic Penalties

      3. Partial marks on the assessment with no opportunity to resubmit.
      4. Loss of an alpha grade on the assessment.
      5. Zero when the assessment value is 10% or less.
  6. Category 2
