Elaboration
- 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.
- All AIVs, Warnings or Offences, do not appear on student transcripts.
Types of Academic Incident that May Receive a Warning
- Copyright infringement.
- Not maintaining security of work.
- Improper behaviour during a testing situation that potentially results in an unfair advantage.
- Loaning work to someone else.
- Unauthorized collaboration.
- Copying from others or self-copying (i.e., submitting academic work previously submitted to another course that received a grade.)
- Unauthorized aids and assistance.
- Unscholarly behaviour: Interfering with the ability of another student to successfully complete academic work.
- 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.)
- The college reserves the rights to file an Offence instead of a warning where the AIV is egregious.
Types of Academic Incident Integrity Violations (AIVs) that Must Receive an Offence
- Aiding and Abetting.
- Contract Cheating.
- Misrepresentation and Fraud.
- Plagiarism.
