Academic Honesty and Integrity


Academic Honesty

A central purpose of the University is to teach students to think independently and critically. Cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty run counter to this purpose and violate the ethical and intellectual principles of the University; they are therefore subject to severe penalties. For more information, refer to the Senate Policy on Academic Honesty (see University Policies and Regulations section of this publcation or http://www.yorku.ca/secretariat/policies/).

Academic Integrity

Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves about issues of academic integrity, positive strategies to improve academic efforts and avoid committing an academic offence. An academic integrity tutorial, including a self-test are located at http://www.yorku.ca/tutorial/academic_integrity/.
