4. INTELLECTUAL HONEST, ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE 

The standards and reputation of a university are 

a share responsibility of faculty and students. A 

prime aspect of the university's activities is concerned 

with the teaching-learning 

function. Intellectual honesty 

is a cornerstone of the development and acquisition of 

knowledge which itself is cumulative and dependent on the 

contribution of others for further advances. Intellectual 

honesty requires that the contribution of others be 

acknowledged. At the undergraduate level such of the work 

must involve the consideration of ideas and material 

originally conceived or made accessible by others. There 

is a significant difference between the use of the 

acknowledged restatement of such ideas and materials after 

intelligent assimilation, and the unacknowledged literal 

reproduction of them. The University Ins 

ists 

on

intellectual honesty in scholarship. 

Intellectual dishonesty may take many for, -_ 

such as verbatim and unauthorized copying of the works of 

others, fraudulent obtaining of desired laboratory results, 

the use of commercially prepared essays as a substitute 

for one's Own work, the submission of the same essay or 

other work to more than one instructor for credit without 

due explanation or prior approval, unauthorized use of 

material in examinations or tests, impersonation of another 

student at an examination, misrepresentat 

ion

of information 

or falsification of academic records. 

Withoutlimiting the generality of this section, and 

dependent upon the seriousness of th 

e

Offense, sanctions 

imposed for various academic offenses may range from a 

simple warning on .a minor first offense, to reimposition 

of the 

.

work assigned, to failure on the particular 

assignment or fully on the course, through to denial of 

admission or readmission Or to suspension (or 

expulsion) from the University for repeated flagrant 

offenses or for a single serious offense. 

The University insists on scholarly integrity from 

all its members and emphasizes that it will impose 

appropriate sanctions on thOse who directly or indirectly 

contribute to the weakening of this integrity. 

Procedures for student appeals in matters of 

academic discipline will be applied consistent with section 

31(8) of the Universities' Act.
