AIO Values Circle Sticker

What are academic offences and misconduct? As a U of T student, it is your responsibility to think and act in a manner that does not undermine the ethics and integrity of academic work.

Choosing to act in ways that misrepresent knowledge, improper or lack of sourcing/citations, and creating situations of unfair academic advantage all constitute as examples of academic misconduct. The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters governs how all parties in the university must adhere to ethical scholarship and academic practice while in pursuit of higher education.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

Identify different types of academic misconduct (Academic Offences, Types of Offences)
Explain some of the potential consequences of academic misconduct and strategies to avoid them (Responsibility and Accountability)
Locate and utilize university resources, including relevant websites and university staff, to address any questions or concerns about academic integrity
