Academic
Integrity
In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity,
members of the University of Waterloo community are expected to promote
honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility. [Check
www.uwaterloo.ca/academicintegrity/ for more information.]
Grievance
A student who believes that a decision affecting some
aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or unreasonable may have
grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70, Student Petitions and
Grievances, Section 4, www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy70.htm . When in doubt please be certain
to contact the department's administrative assistant who will provide further
assistance.
Discipline
A student is expected to know what constitutes
academic integrity [check www.uwaterloo.ca/academicintegrity/] to avoid
committing an academic offence, and to take responsibility for his/her actions.
A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs
help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about
'rules' for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course
instructor, academic advisor, or the undergraduate Associate Dean. For
information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer
to Policy 71, Student Discipline, www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy71.htm . For typical penalties check Guidelines for the Assessment
of Penalties, www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/guidelines/penaltyguidelines.htm.
Appeals:
A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70
(Student Petitions and Grievances) (other than a petition) or Policy 71
(Student Discipline) may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who
believes he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72 (Student
Appeals) www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy72.htm .
Note for
Students with Disabilities: The Office of AccessAbility,
located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments
to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without
compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic
accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with
the AccessAbility at the beginning of each academic term.
