Understanding Academic Integrity

Policy & Procedure

The Academic Integrity Policy and Academic Integrity Procedure embody Sheridan's commitment to:


Academic Excellence


Uphold academic excellence
across all of Sheridan’s programs


Sheridan Credentials


Maintain the integrity of
Sheridan credentials


Accurate Assessment


Ensure that grades reflect an
accurate assessment of student work


Fairness


Ensure that no one gains
an unfair academic advantage


In order to uphold these commitments, a failure to follow the Policy and Procedure results in a breach of Academic Integrity, and may result in an academic penalty (sanction).

In this tutorial, we will outline the main definitions identified in the Policy and Procedure and apply the Policy and Procedure to a variety of practical scenarios. Throughout this tutorial, you will have the opportunity to test your own knowledge and understanding of the ethical considerations discussed in the Policy and Procedure.
