Students who register for courses at Camosun are required to sign an Academic Integrity agreement as a part of the registration process. Below is a description of the process, a screen shot of where these agreements are found in student accounts, and the text of the agreement.
To register, you must sign this agreement by clicking Accept below. This acknowledges you are aware of your Academic Integrity responsibilities.
All Camosun students must follow the expectations set out in the college's Academic Integrity Policy . Students must complete all work, study and assignments honestly, without cheating. This includes plagiarizing, lying, falsifying information, or receiving unauthorized help.
The Academic Integrity Policy also details the consequences of failing to meet these standards. Breaches of academic integrity can result in penalties -- for example, loss of marks or failing grades. Repeated or severe offenses may result in suspension.
The college provides resources and supports to help you understand academic integrity. The best place to start is the Academic Integrity Online Guide. This guide provides real-life examples of what to avoid. It also suggests how to ensure you complete your work with integrity.
If you are unsure what plagiarism, cheating or misconduct are, ask your instructor. Or email: integrity@camosun.ca.
An instructor may require that you complete a short online course about Academic Integrity. To learn more about the course, email: integrity@camosun.ca.
