Academic Integrity

Students are expected to know what constitutes plagiarism and that plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct. As such, plagiarism is subject to penalty. Please review the Plagiarism and Student Discipline sections of the UBC Calendar, available at http://help.library.ubc.ca/planning-your-research/academic-integrity-plagiarism/ .

Instructors are required to report all instances of academic misconduct to the Department, who will in turn notify the Dean’s Office. The penalty for plagiarism or for cheating is serious and normally entails suspension from the University and a notation on the student’s transcript.
