"Integrity of University academic life and of the degrees, diplomas and certificates the University confers is dependent upon the honesty and soundness of the instructor-student learning relationship and, in particular, that of the evaluation process. As such, all students are expected to be honest in all of their academic endeavours and relationships with the University.”- From Article 1 of the Academic Code of Conduct

• Copy from ANYWHERE without stating where it came from.
• Let another student copy your work and then submit it as his/her own.

• Have unauthorized material in an exam, such as cheat sheets, crib notes. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CAUGHT USING THEM - JUST HAVING THEM WILL GET YOU INTO TROUBLE!
