Academic Integrity
2

The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and
honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty
and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to
familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of Student Behaviour (online at
www.governance.ualberta.ca) and avoid any behaviour that could potentially result in suspicions
of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic
dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
Learning and working environment
The Faculty of Arts is committed to ensuring that all students, faculty and staff are able to work
and study in an environment that is safe and free from discrimination and harassment. It does not
tolerate behaviour that undermines that environment. The department urges anyone who feels
that this policy is being violated to:
Discuss the matter with the person whose behaviour is causing concern; or
If that discussion is unsatisfactory, or there is concern that direct discussion is inappropriate or
threatening, discuss it with the Chair of the Department.
For additional advice or assistance regarding this policy you may contact the student
ombudservice: (http://www.ombudservice.ualberta.ca/ ). Information about the University of
Alberta Discrimination and Harassment Policy and Procedures can be found in the GFC Policy
Manual, section 44 available at http://gfcpolicymanual.ualberta.ca/ .
Plagiarism and Cheating:
All students should consult the Website (http://www.osja.ualberta.ca/Students.aspx) regarding
the definitions of plagiarism and its consequences when detected.Students involved in
language courses and translation courses should be aware that on-line translation engines
produce very dubious and unreliable translations. Students in language courses should be
aware that, while seeking the advice of native or expert speakers is often helpful, excessive
editorial and creative help in assignments is considered a form of cheating that violates the
code of student conduct with dire consequences. An instructor or coordinator who is convinced
that a student has handed in work that he or she could not possibly reproduce without outside
assistance is obliged, out of consideration of fairness to other students, to report the case to the
Associate Dean of the Faculty. Before unpleasantness occurs consult
http://www.osja.ualberta.ca/Students.aspx; also discuss this matter with any tutor(s) and with
your instructor.
Recording of Lectures:
Audio or video recording of lectures, labs, seminars or any other teaching environment by
students is allowed only with the prior written consent of the instructor or as a part of an
approved accommodation plan. Recorded material is to be used solely for personal study, and is
not to be used or distributed for any other purpose without prior written consent from the
instructor.
Attendance, Absences, and Missed Grade Components:
Regular attendance is essential for optimal performance in any course. In cases of potentially
excusable absences due to illness or domestic affliction, notify your instructor by e-mail within
two days. Regarding absences that may be excusable and procedures for addressing course
3

components missed as a result, consult sections 23.3(1) and 23.5.6 of the University Calendar.
Be aware that unexcused absences will result in partial or total loss of the grade for the
attendance and participation component(s) of a course, as well as for any assignments that are
not handed-in or completed as a result.
Policy for Late Assignments:
No late submissions accepted without permission obtained prior to the deadline
Specialized Support & Disability Services:
If you have special needs that could affect your performance in this class, please let me know
during the first week of the term so that appropriate arrangements can be made. If you are not
already registered with Specialized Support & Disability Services, contact their office
immediately (2-800 SUB; Email ssdsrec@ualberta.ca; Email; phone 780-492-3381; WEB
