Academic Integrity:
Academic integrity is
constituted by the five core fundamental values of honesty, trust,
fairness, respect and responsibility (see www.academicintegrity.org).
These values are central to the building, nurturing and sustaining of
an academic community in which all members of the community will
thrive. Adherence to the values expressed through academic integrity
forms a foundation for the "freedom of inquiry and exchange of ideas"
essential to the intellectual life of the University (see the Senate
Report on Principles and Priorities)
Students are responsible for familiarizing
themselves with the regulations concerning academic integrity and for
ensuring that their assignments conform to the principles of academic
integrity. Information on academic integrity is available in the Arts
and Science Calendar (see Academic Regulation 1), on the Arts and
Science website
(see http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/Academic%20Regulations.pdf).
Departures from academic integrity include plagiarism, use of
unauthorized materials, facilitation, forgery and falsification, and
are antithetical to the development of an academic community at
Queen's. Given the seriousness of these matters, actions which
contravene the regulation on academic integrity carry sanctions that
can range from a warning or the loss of grades on an assignment to the
failure of a course to a requirement to withdraw from the university.
