Student Rights and Responsibilities
Honesty and fairness are considered fundamental values shared by students, staff and faculty at the University of Toronto.
The University’s policies and procedures that deal with cases of cheating, plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct are designed to protect the integrity of the institution and to maintain a community where competition is fair.
As a result, the University of Toronto treats cases of academic misconduct very seriously. If it has been alleged that you have committed an academic offence, you will find that the allegation is dealt with formally and seriously, and the penalties can be severe.
- All of the policies and procedures surrounding academic offences are contained within one policy: Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters.
- The Academic Integrity Handbook can help inform and prepare you for a successful university career free from academic misconduct.
Academic Misconduct and Sanctions
Please review notes under Student Code of Conduct. Until the student’s obligations have been discharged, the Faculty of Information is not permitted to give students who are under review for academic misconduct letters stating that they have completed their degree requirements.
