University Undergraduate Regulations

Procedures For Investigation and Discipline in Cases of Allegations of Academic or Research Misconduct by Undergraduate Students

The president has delegated to the deans and to the vice-president: academic the authority to impose discipline in cases of academic or research misconduct, hereafter referred to as academic misconduct. Sanctions up to and including failure in a course may be imposed at the departmental level, except in the Faculty of Music where such sanctions may be imposed by the dean (in the School of Business and Economics the associate dean (or designate) will serve as the chair of the Department of Business). Any sanction that is imposed must be such that participation in academic misconduct is a high-risk activity. The risk of cheating must be significantly greater than any potential reward. At any point in the procedures outlined below the student being accused of academic misconduct may choose to be accompanied by a member of the university community to any disciplinary proceeding.
