  • Details of authorized assistance allowed during examinations:

    • If authorized assistance is allowed (such as open book examinations), it should be so stipulated in detail. If faculty allow reference materials to be used during examinations, it is recommended that the syllabus sate that students cannot share any materials (references, calculators, etc.) during examinations. Finally, if review of previously administered examination contents is not allowed, it should be so stated in the syllabus.

All academic work must meet the standards contained in 'A Culture of Honesty'. Each student is responsible to inform themselves about those standards before performing any academic work.
