Welcome to the University of Manitoba! As the Student Affairs logo indicates, we want to provide you with opportunities to succeed, and this Guide indeed fits that description. We know that a large university can be an overwhelming place, particularly in first year, especially if you have arrived directly from a high school and a community where you knew most people and had a real sense of comfort and security. We want to assure you that your comfort level will improve! Even though you are on your own and you are expected to find your own way, the University has people who care and can help and support you. This book is your guide to the services, information, policies and procedures - and the people - to help you feel comfortable in your surroundings. We want you to learn and grow. The Guide tells you what the resources are and where to find them. It gives advice on your health and well-being and lists the policies and procedures that directly affect you. In short, it can help to answer your questions or to find the people who can answer them for you. The University of Manitoba, and in particular Student Affairs, is committed to helping you have a successful and productive experience here. We encourage you to keep this book as a reference to contact the people on campus who are here to support you and provide you with opportunities to succeed! Best wishes for a successful academic career.
The University is concerned with your academic and personal well-being and development. To this end, numerous programs and services which affect you directly are provided under the organization of STUDENT AFFAIRS. Student Affairs is coordinated and directed by the Vice-Provost (Student Affairs) who reports directly to the Vice-President (Academic) and Provost. This ensures that your needs as a student receive attention at the most senior level of the University. In addition, the Vice-Provost (Student Affairs) liaises with all student groups, and those academic and administrative units that directly impact your life as a student on campus. If you have any concerns or issues which cannot be resolved with the appropriate office or personnel, you should direct the matter to the attention of the Vice-Provost. You can get information, assistance and quality service from the offices listed below.

Mission
Enrolment Services encompasses four Student Affairs units: Admissions, Student Recruitment, Financial Aid & Awards, and the English Language Centre. Your first official contact with the U of M was almost certainly with one of these units; through contact with one of the recruitment officers at your school or at a career fair, with Admissions in submitting your Application for Undergraduate Admission, or possibly through Financial Aid & Awards to determine your scholarship and loan possibilities. As you move through your university studies, these units will continue to provide you with services and support as described below.
The mission of the English Language Centre (ELC) is to enhance success for students, as well as potential students, whose first language is not English by providing courses, tests, Homestay, and individual support in order that they may achieve their academic goals and participate with confidence in the U of M community.
Teaching Staff The ELC is accredited by Languages Canada. Instructors have completed graduate work in the area of Teaching English as a Second Language.
Full Time Program IAEP and AEPUCE The Intensive Academic English Program (IAEP) is offered three times a year in 14 week sessions. This program has five levels and is designed to prepare intermediate and advanced students for academic study. At the end of each IAEP session, students write the CanTEST© (The Canadian Test of English for Scholars and Trainees). These test results may be used to meet the English requirements of the U of M. The fifth level is known as the Academic English Program for University and College Entrance (AEPUCE) and is designed to prepare students for admission to the U of M. Individuals who have achieved a TOEFL score of 500 (173 Computer Version), IELTS 5.5, CanTEST© band 3.5 or equivalent are eligible to take AEPUCE. Successful completion of AEPUCE meets the English requirements for admission to the U of M. NOTE re: CanTEST©: In addition to providing courses, the Centre is an official testing site for the CanTEST©. For information on this test or to purchase practice material, please visit the ELC office.

Application Material If you are a student within University 1, you will need to apply to be admitted to the Faculty or School of your choice for your second year of University. Currently, eligible students can ‘transit’ directly to either Arts or Science after University 1 through the registration system. All other students will need to complete an application. Each Faculty or School publishes information on their entrance requirements and selection process and this can be downloaded from our website, umanitoba.ca/student/admissions or obtained from our office.
Information If you have any questions concerning the entrance requirements to a particular faculty or program, the selection process, or the degree of competition for admission, please contact Admissions directly rather than relying on second-hand information from other sources. Admissions can also address any questions you may have on transfer of credit from faculty to faculty or from other institutions.
The ELC offers part-time courses four times a year for U of M students and potential students as well. These courses consist of ten three-hour classes usually over ten weeks. In summer, the classes are held twice a week. Courses include the following: • Oral English for Academic Purposes • Conversation and Discussion • Seminars and Presentations • Pronunciation • Academic Writing • Complex Sentences and Paragraphs • Critical Reading and Summary Writing • Essay Writing • Research Writing (limited to graduate students)
Homestay Program Ms. Ann Friesen, Homestay Coordinator
204-474-6809 ann_friesen@umanitoba.ca umanitoba.ca/student/elc/homestay The ELC matches international U of M students with Canadian families for room and board. The Homestay program is intended to help international students learn about Canadian culture, and allows Canadian families to learn about international students and their culture. For more information on this program, please consult the website.

During the course of your academic career, personal money management will be an important consideration. The Financial Aid and Awards Office can play an important role in how you manage your finances, from day-to-day budgeting to long-term financial awareness. Further information on all programs administered by the Financial Aid & Awards office is available on our website.
Scholarships, Bursaries and Prizes You may be eligible for one of the numerous awards administered by the Financial Aid & Awards Office. Some awards are selected on an institution-wide basis, while others require study in a specific faculty or school, or established performance in a particular course or year of study. For several awards, including most scholarships, selection is automatic and contingent on published criteria. All university-administered bursaries and a few special scholarships are considered via application, and may or may not include consideration of the financial standing of the applicant. A listing of the awards offered in your faculty or school should be available in their respective General Offices.
Student Aid The student aid branches of Canada’s provincial governments (and those of several international governments) rely upon the Financial Aid & Awards Office to administer portions of their loan and grant (often called bursary) programs. Online applications can be completed and processed electronically at: studentaid.gov.mb.ca. Students from provinces other than Manitoba should consult their local government website for details. (Some provinces still offer paper application packages, please consult our office for details.)
Debt Load A high level of consideration should be given to the potential debt load carried by student aid recipients after graduation. Although student loans are convenient and flexible, they carry with them a high level of responsibility and maintenance. Student loans must be repaid in accordance with the terms established by the lenders in order for recipients to avoid penalties and damage to their credit rating, and to protect their ability to access student aid in the future. You may wish to discuss your obligations further with staff of the Financial Aid & Awards Office, as well as with your family and your financial institution.
Tuition Fee Deferrals Tuition fee deferrals may be arranged at no additional charge through the Financial Aid & Awards Office only when it can be verified that your application for financial aid (or other awards considered essential to covering your fees) was complete and submitted on time your confirmed student aid amount must be greater than or equal to the fee payment you wish to defer. Since processing often takes about eight weeks for paper student aid applications, and about three weeks for online applications, the office generally considers “on time” to include those submitted by June 30 for the session starting in September. Students are responsible for either paying their fees in full, or filing a deferral based on the above criteria with the Financial Aid & Awards Office or the Cashier’s Office prior to published deadlines. Deferrals and exceptions are not applied automatically. It is also the student’s responsibility to pay outstanding balances not covered by fee deferrals by the published deadlines to avoid penalties and/or cancellation of their classes. 6
If you are an athlete in a sport affiliated with Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), you may be eligible for one of the numerous athletic awards available at the U of M. Questions about these awards should be addressed to your coach, who is responsible for nominating award recipients. It is important to read your Letter of Offer carefully and to follow its instructions in order to claim and maintain any award you may be offered.
Emergency Aid If you experience unexpected financial distress during the academic year, Financial Aid & Awards can help you understand the various government-sponsored student aid programs and can provide some basic personal money management information. Short-term, interest free emergency loans may be available in cases where circumstances warrant. Please call the Financial Aid & Awards at 204-474-9531 for further information.
U of M Food Bank
518 University Centre foodbank.umsu.ca The Financial Aid & Awards Office, in partnership with the UMSU operates a campus food bank. If your grocery budget is temporarily stretched, you may supplement your resources with non-perishable food items from this facility. Visit the Food Bank between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday. You will be required to present a current valid student ID card, and you must be enrolled fulltime for the academic school year. There will be volunteers on site to greet and assist you.

Now that you are a U of M student, you may not need the services of Student Recruitment. If, however, you know of someone who might be interested in studying here, please give them our contact information. We would be pleased to provide them with information, to speak with them personally, or to show them around campus.
Off-Campus Activities If you were a student in a high school in Manitoba or northwestern Ontario, it is very likely one of the Recruitment Officers visited your school to speak to the graduating class. You may also have seen us at career fairs, either at your school or at a regional fair. If you will be returning to your home town (or country) during a holiday break or at the end of the academic year, and would like a package of information on the University to share with friends and family, please stop by our office and ask for a complimentary “Take Back” package. We also invite you to accompany the Recruitment Officer on a visit to your home school.
undergraduates from rural Manitoba, roughly 25% are from other parts of Canada, overseas, or graduate students.
On-Campus Activities
The residences all operate within the philosophy that a student’s personal development at university is as important as academic development. The residences provide housing and a supportive community, which encourages the taking of risks and the exploration of new ways of thinking.
Future students are invited to visit the Fort Garry Campus at one of our scheduled events such as “Info Days” in February or the October “Evening of Excellence” or for group or individual tours. We also host the annual “School Counsellors’ Seminar” in September.
Any full-time student may apply to live in residence. Rates for room and board and descriptions of the different residences are available on the web at umanitoba.ca/student/housing
Aboriginal Student Recruitment The U of M has a special interest in the recruitment of Aboriginal students to university studies. The Aboriginal Student Recruitment Officers, and their staff of current Aboriginal Students, welcome you to find out more about the many academic and support programs available at the U of M.

Your initial ID card is issued free of charge anytime after two weeks of being admitted to the University. The card is checked by computer every time it is used to ensure that you are currently registered. A replacement ID card is currently $15.75. The ID Centre is located in the Registrar’s Office for most of the year. In early September, the ID Centre relocates to the main floor of University Centre for a few days prior to the beginning of classes. (see Registration Guide or the internet for details).
If you have changed your name since you were admitted or if you notice an error in your name as it appears on documents and in Aurora Student, contact the Registrar’s Office for instructions on how to change your name and the documentation you will be asked to provide. Application for Letters of Permission If you are already enrolled at the U of M and are planning to take a course at another university or college for credit towards your U of M degree, apply for a Letter of Permission at least one month prior to the commencement of the course. The application form is obtained from the Registrar’s Office. Please ensure that permission has been granted before you start the course. Courses taken at other institutions without a letter of permission may not be transferable to your degree program at the U of M. The current cost for a Letter of Permission is $52.50.

Its uses on campus range from library borrowing to meal plans, from Physical Education facility use to Examination ID. It is used by the Registrar’s Office to print class photos on requestor for general ID purposes, e.g. when picking up transcripts. You may also use it instead of cash in campus photocopying machines provided you have pre-purchased photocopy credits through a “cash card manager station” available in several library locations.
International Students Health Insurance All international students attending the U of M are required to be covered by a “special health insurance plan” provided for them by the University if they do not qualify for the Provincial Government Plan (MHSC). The cost for health insurance for 2009-2010 was not available at the time of printing. For reference purposes, the premiums for 2008 - 2009 was $456 for “single” person coverage and $1,404 for family coverage. This fee is automatically billed to every international student and may be removed on request if proof of provincial coverage is presented to the Registrar’s Office.

Disability Services creates equal access for students with disabilities at the U of M. Disability Services provides support and advocacy for students with disabilities of all kinds: hearing, learning, injury-related, mental health, medical, physical, or visual. Students with temporary disabilities, such as sprains and breaks, are also eligible to use our services. Disability Services acts as a liaison between students and the faculty and staff of the U of M as well as support agencies within the province of Manitoba. Disability Services offers on-campus, in-class and test/exam accommodations. The most common accommodations are: on campus transportation, American Sign Language/English interpretation, note-takers, extended time for tests/exams and email notification to instructors about accommodations. Because accommodations are tailored to each individual, students must first meet with an Accessibility Advisor to determine appropriate accommodations while at the U of M. Students are strongly encouraged to register at Disability Services as early as possible to avoid a delay in service. First year students should register upon receiving acceptance to the U of M. Students should not wait until school starts in September. Early registration ensures that Disability Services will be able to arrange support and accommodations.

What is UMSU? Representing and advancing the diverse needs of over 23,000 undergraduate student members, the University of Manitoba Students’ Union is the largest students’ association in the province. In addition to advocating on behalf of students to the University administration and to all levels of government, UMSU provides funding and support for student groups, operates businesses and services to enhance student life, and organizes social events to build community and add to the overall university experience. UMSU’s student owned and operated businesses include the Digital Copy Centre, GPA’s Convenience Store, Archives Used Bookstore, IQ’s Cafe and Billiards, Degrees Restaurant, and Answers Information Booth. UMSU is also Local 103 of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), a provincial and national organization that provides representation and cost-saving services for its members. You can find out more about CFS at cfs-fcee.ca.
UMSU Structure
Introduction to University ARTS 1110W ·· Curriculum focuses on skill development in academic writing, research, critical thinking, and effective study strategies ·· Small seminar sections in which students practice skill development in a supportive environment ·· Opportunities for students to explore the ideas that excite them personally
As a member of your students’ union, you have a say in how it is run. UMSU is governed by an elected Council composed of representatives from each faculty, school, college and residence, as well as five elected community representatives. The Council is the voice of students within UMSU and is responsible for setting the direction for the Union and making major decisions for UMSU. Council meetings are held every two weeks, and students are encouraged to attend the meetings to find out what their representatives are up to and provide input. There are a number of committees that guide policy and procedure for UMSU on a yearly basis, including the Policy & Bylaws, Campaigns and Government Relations and Finance committees. The day-to-day operations of UMSU are carried out under the direction of the UMSU Executive. The Executive consists of a President and four Vice-Presidents who are elected during the UMSU general elections held in early March of each year. A list of portfolios and reports for each executive member can be found on the UMSU website. To find out more information about your students’ union, feel free to swing by the UMSU offices or contact the UMSU President directly at 204-474-6519 or pres@umsu.ca.
Representation within the University One of UMSU’s fundamental roles is representing students to the University. The President and Vice-President Advocacy of UMSU, along with 28 student senators elected from each faculty, sit on the University Senate. The University Senate looks after all matters of an academic nature, such as hearing appeals from decisions of faculty and school councils, making rules and regulations respecting academic awards, and determining all matters relating to teaching, examinations and conferring of degrees. A list of your student Senate representatives can be found on the UMSU website at umsu.ca. UMSU also has a voice on the University Board of Governors, which deals with the administrative and business affairs of the University, such as approving the annual budget, buying or selling University property, and appointing and monitoring the performance of the President and Vice-Chancellor.

RESEARCH
UMSU provides its members with a health and dental benefits plan, which was approved by a student referendum in January 2002. The plan is a group benefit, providing many services and benefits to students without coverage, and is mandatory for full-time students unless there is proof of an existing plan for health and/or dental. The plan costs $226.55 per year (for 12 months of coverage), although students may add their family (spouse and dependants) for an additional fee. Details of the plan and opt-out deadlines are available online at umsu.ca.
UMSU has a full-time research coordinator in the UMSU office that researches issues and collects data to be incorporated into campaigns. We also use comprehensive data and fact sheets compiled by the Canadian Federation of Students. This information and background is invaluable in assisting UMSU when discussing our concerns and objectives with officials of the administration or government.
LOBBYING Regular contact with elected and non-elected officials is how UMSU lobbies the government.

Get Involved with UMSU! Getting involved with your students’ union is a great way to meet people and shape your experience in university. As those involved can attest, your education goes beyond just the classroom. Below are examples of a few ways to get involved on campus. Please contact the UMSU office at 101 University Centre for more information.
Volunteering
ACTION Of course, regular meetings with government and the very best research will have little impact unless the government believes a message has widespread support. UMSU demonstrates this support through the active participation of its members and the general public in activities ranging from petition drives to mass mobilizations. These campaigns raise public awareness of the issues, and correspondingly affect the decisions and policies of government.
If you are new to the University or not, the quickest way to get involved is to volunteer for one of the many events or campaigns the students’ union runs. These opportunities can range from putting up posters to helping run parties or planning events. Another popular way to get involved on campus is by volunteering at UMSU events such as Orientation Week and Celebration Week. Contact any one of the UMSU Executive or just stop by the UMSU office at any time to learn more!

The University of Manitoba Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) represents all graduate students at the University of Manitoba. Each graduate student is automatically a fee-paying member of the Association and, as such, all graduate students are members of the Association. The diversity of graduate students is reflected on the Association’s council, as each graduate department elects a departmental representative to this body. With over 3,000 members, the GSA is the official voice of graduate students to the administration, including the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The GSA serves a dual purpose through the benefits it provides to members: representation, campaigns, and advocacy on graduate student issues; and the provision of services to its members, including travel grants, the Gradzette, and bursaries for students. In addition to these services, the GSA also provides funding to departmental organizations in the form of grants.
The GSA operates various scholarship funds and disburses awards to students demonstrating financial need and academic promise.
Photocopy and Laser Printing Through the GSA, grad students have access to inexpensive photocopying and laser printing services. Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms are supported.
It’s Your Office The GSA Office is open from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday to Friday, and Grad Students are welcome to come and relax, use the computers or study in a friendly, quiet environment.
Representation The GSA coordinates graduate student representation on most of the university’s governing councils, boards and committees. The GSA represents the interests of graduate students to The University of Manitoba, The University of Manitoba Students’ Union, the Faculty of Graduate Studies and all three levels of government. Students with concerns that can be addressed through administrative channels should contact the GSA President, pres@umgsa.ca.

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM
The University places a high value on academic integrity. It has implemented various measures in an attempt to curb academic dishonesty: ·· examinations are invigilated; ·· individuals taking examinations are required to sign in and to display a student ID card; ·· different versions of an exam may be alternated row by row and/or seat by seat; ·· assignments done out of class time are subject to other forms of vigilance and scrutiny; e.g., honesty declarations ·· faculty can often tell that an essay has been plagiarized, even if they do not at first know the exact source of unacknowledged passages; ·· faculty are aware of various forms of cheating and plagiarism through misuse of the Internet. Examples of this include downloading papers in whole or in part from the Internet or purchasing an essay from an agency.
APPEALS Students often receive academic decisions which are unfavourable and/or unexpected. If you think that some decision has been made about you or your work that is incorrect or unfair, an appeal is available to you. You may appeal a discipline decision, an admission decision, or an academic decision. Before filing an appeal, the student should talk to the professor and/or the department head, in attempts to resolve the matter informally. For information on fee appeals, see the Registrar’s Office section of this Guide. Assistance with any type of appeal is available from Student Advocacy. Usually appeals are heard first at the departmental level, then by faculty committees and finally the Senate committee. The most common type of appeal is the final grade appeal. Students also frequently appeal academic suspension due to medical/compassionate reasons. If you want more information on appeal procedures and guidelines please contact Student Advocacy ( 519 University Centre, 204474-7423, student_advocacy@umanitoba.ca).
EXAMINATION REGULATIONS (& GRADES) There are many rules regarding examinations and grades, however, often times students are not aware of all of their rights and responsibilities when it comes to writing exams and accessing their final grades. By becoming familiar with the rules and regulations early on in the year, you may prevent yourself from running into serious problems, such as failing a course. For example: What would you do if you become violently ill the morning of a final exam? (read about Deferred Exam) What can you do if you have a term test worth 25% scheduled the first week of the University examination schedule (or “scheduled during the last week of term classes”)? (read about No Final Exam) This would not be a term test, it would be an exam. If it is scheduled during the first week of the examination schedule, it will not be during classes. This may be confusing to students. There are many other rules, e.g. term work extensions (does this fall under the Examination policy?), seeing your final exam script and the use of electronic devices. It is helpful to become familiar with the regulations concerning examinations and grades which may be found at umanitoba.ca/admin/ governance/governing_documents
The North American academic community considers it to be unethical, even criminal, to use other people’s words or ideas as one’s own without using the proper citations and references. Serious academic consequences will result. However, although there are increasing numbers of students who plagiarize (McCabe, 2003) many students do not understand what plagiarism is, or how to avoid it. With this in mind, it is important to identify plagiarism (see the U of M 2009 - 2010 Undergraduate Calendar) and know how to avoid it. Create and use a research log (handouts on how to create a research log are available on the Learning Assistance Centre web page). You can use this log during your entire career as a student. A research log can be a notebook, an electronic log (in Word for example), or RefWorks (free online program through the U of M library system). A log should contain information about everything that you read and will use in your paper. Such information would include the date published or retrieved, title of the work, and/or URL. Add notes about the source, and include page or paragraph numbers for any paraphrases or quotes you take from the original source. Cite all sources and all ideas that are not your own. When writing the paper, cite (write down where the idea came from) anything that is not your idea. This usually means indicating immediately after the idea where it came from. In the first years of university you will cite virtually everything. Do not worry if it looks like almost every sentence is taken from someone else.
COMPUTING / scholastic
Academic Integrity
Despite the long hours students spend alone at their desks, learning and research is at its core a social activity (Booth, Colomb & Williams, 2003). Students and scholars read other people’s ideas and then share those ideas with others. The first research paper can be daunting, and students struggle with how best to share the information that they gained from their readings and research. It is expected that papers written in the early years of a degree will be composed of others’ ideas, usually gained through research. This is particularly true in the first couple of years when students learn many new ideas. However, in North America, copying or stating other people’s ideas in a paper without documenting where those ideas came from is considered plagiarism (see U of M policy on plagiarism).
Put other people’s ideas in your own words. This seems odd to many students, but when using other people’s ideas, you need represent their ideas using your words, or it is considered plagiarism. It is important to do this is because writers own their words. So, you need to either copy their words exactly and put them in quotes, or present their ideas using your words. A strong academic paper will primarily be made up of your words that are re-presenting other people’s ideas. Do not alter other people’s ideas. Make sure you are accurately reflecting others’ ideas. Ask yourself if the author would agree with how you have presented his/her ideas. Use quotation marks around text you are borrowing. When copying a sentence, phrase or section from another source, you must copy it accurately and put quotes around it (Buckley, 2003). When taking notes in your reference log, it is important that you indicate what is your paraphrase, or what you are borrowing directly from the text. If you borrow other people’s words or phrases without either citing or putting them in quotes, you are plagiarizing. Make sure your reference list is complete and accurate. Not only do ideas need to be acknowledged in the body of the paper, but the complete citation (title of book, authors, date, publisher, etc.) also needs to
2009 - 2010 | Student Guide
27
be included in your reference list (usually found at the end of a paper). Use the appropriate reference style. Different professors and fields will demand different reference styles. Be aware of requested reference style (APA, MLA, Turabian - basic style sheets are available on the U of M libraries main page) and use them when writing your paper. Don’t depend on common knowledge. Common knowledge is any piece of information that you would expect most people would know. For example, you could say that two planes flew into NY’s Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001 and not source it. However, what kind of planes, who flew them, and other details revealed by post-event investigations are not common knowledge and sources need to be provided. That Stephen Harper is the Prime Minister of Canada is common knowledge. Where he was born or where he went to school is not necessarily common knowledge. Check if you do not know. Contact your professor if you do not know whether you are using the correct style or documenting your sources correctly. Another resource is the Learning Assistance Centre ( 201 Tier) or the Elizabeth Dafoe Writing Tutors (reference section, Elizabeth Dafoe Library).

PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING
An assignment which is prepared and submitted for one course must not be used for a different course. This is called “duplicate submission” and represents a form of cheating because course requirements are expected to be fulfilled through original work for each course. When in doubt about any practice, ask your professor or instructor. The Student Advocacy office, 519 University Centre 204474-7423 is a resource available to students dealing with Academic Integrity matters.

Plagiarism or any other form of Cheating (during examinations, term tests, or academic work) is subject to serious academic penalty (e.g., suspension or expulsion from the faculty or university). Cheating in examinations or tests may take the form of copying from another student or bringing unauthorized materials into the exam room (e.g. crib notes, pagers or cell phones). Exam cheating can also include exam impersonation, (please see Section 4.2.8 of the Calendar on Exam Personating). A student found guilty of contributing to cheating in examinations or term assignments is also subject to serious academic penalty. To plagiarize is to take ideas or words of another person or source and pass them off as one’s own. In short, it is stealing something intangible rather than an object. Plagiarism applies to any written work, in traditional or electronic format, as well as orally or verbally presented work. Obviously it is not necessary to state the source of well-known or easily verifiable facts, but students are expected to appropriately acknowledge the sources of ideas and expressions they use in their written work, whether quoted directly or paraphrased. This applies to diagrams, statistical tables and the like, as well as to written material, and materials or information from Internet sources. To provide adequate and correct documentation is not only an indication of academic honesty but is also a courtesy which enables the reader to consult these sources with ease. Failure to provide appropriate citations constitutes plagiarism. It will also be considered plagiarism and/or cheating if a student submits a term paper written in whole or in part by someone other than himself/herself, or copies the answer or answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment.
28
Working with other students on assignments, laboratory work, takehome tests, or on-line tests, when this is not permitted by the instructor, can constitute Inappropriate Collaboration and may be subject to penalty under the Student Discipline By-Law.
