Statement of Academic Honesty:
The University College of the North views academic honesty as the basis for the development and acquisition of knowledge, and encourages all students to pursue their studies in an honourable and responsible manner. [UCN Academic Policy AC-01-19]
Academic dishonesty is a very serious offence with serious consequences. It is up to each student to understand what is meant by academic dishonesty.
Academic dishonesty may take many forms, including:
a)using unauthorized materials in examinations or other evaluations;
b)plagiarism;
c)falsifying data or documents;
d)cheating or helping others cheat in any way;
e)presenting one’s own work completed for one course and representing it as work donefor credit in a different course;
f)any other acts which compromise the integrity of the evaluation process.
Because plagiarism is a prevalent form of academic dishonesty, it is necessary that students have a clear understanding of the term. To plagiarize is to intentionally misrepresent with the intent to deceive. It will be considered plagiarism to take words or ideas of another person and pass them off as one’s own, including, but not limited to, essays, compositions, theses, creative writing, reports, reviews, lab reports, projects, computer programs, experimental data, drawings, charts, plans, musical compositions, and works of art.
The penalty for academic dishonesty may range from a grade of 0 for the assignment or occurrence to suspension from the course. Instances of multiple infractions of academic dishonesty may result in suspension from the University College for a period of twelve months as of the date of the infraction.
Any decision regarding academic dishonesty may be appealed.
When in doubt about what constitutes plagiarism or other forms of academic dishonesty, students are encouraged to consult with their instructor. Students are also urged to familiarize themselves with the appropriate section of the Academic Calendar on Academic Dishonesty.
