Academic integrity process

As you go through the academic integrity process outlined in Academic Regulation A-4 (Academic Integrity and Academic Misconduct), you may be invited to participate in an academic integrity session with a writing mentor. If so, email [email protected] to book the session. Our team will contact you with all the necessary information.

Please note that academic integrity sessions aren’t just for students who’ve received sanctions. They’re also open to those seeking to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the topic. The sessions can prove invaluable for all students aiming to enhance their academic journey.
