Your professors will demand that your work is your own and that you accurately reference the sources of the information that you use in your work; failing to maintain academic integrity will result in serious consequences.

These sessions provided students with the opportunity to discuss why academic integrity is important and with resources to help them to avoid academic dishonesty. For more information about the program, or if you would like to participate in it in the future, please contact Dana Capell (see Contact Us on the left menu) at the Academic Skills Centre.
