Note: Consideration of a request to withdraw from
a course or courses involved in an academic offence will not be given until the
case is resolved.
Academic offences include, but are not limited to, the following:
A. PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism includes:
1. quoting verbatim or almost verbatim from any
source, regardless of format, without acknowledgement;
2. adopting someone else's line of thought,
argument, arrangement, is supporting evidence (such as, statistics,
bibliographies, etc.) without indicating such dependence;
3. submitting someone else's work, in whatever
form (essay, film, workbook, artwork, computer materials, etc.) without
acknowledgement;
4. knowingly representing as one's own work any
idea of another.
NOTE: In courses which include group work, a penalty
may be imposed on all members of the group unless an act of plagiarism is
identified clearly with an individual student or students.
Procedures
In the case of plagiarism, the instructor
must make every reasonable effort to discuss the case with the student or group
and follow one of two courses of action:
1. If the instructor is satisfied that the
plagiarism was the result of a genuine misunderstanding, the instructor shall
complete an academic offence incident report in a form approved by the Registrar's
Office, containing the student's name and the particulars of the incident, and
submit to the Registrar who, shall advise the appropriate Dean and the Chair of
the student's program or Department where applicable. The Registrar shall
notify the student by registered letter and/or electronic mail of the
regulations governing plagiarism, the possible consequences, the student's
right to appeal, the right to appear before the appropriate appeals Committee
(Student Standing and Promotions Committee on the Fredericton campus and Senate
Student Appeals Committee on the Saint John campus), and the procedures
involved. The Registrar shall make available to the student, a copy of the
academic offence incident report and supporting documentation. While a case of plagiarism
resulting from genuine misunderstanding will not be considered a student's
first offence, a second plea of ignorance by the same student in response to a
subsequent allegation of plagiarism will not be accepted; similarly, a
subsequent incident report indicating that the alleged plagiarism is a result
of genuine misunderstanding responding to the instructor's allegation must do
so in writing within three weeks of the date of the Registrar's notification.
The student is urged to submit to the appropriate appeals committee a written
statement regarding the case.
In a first incident of plagiarism resulting from genuine misunderstanding, the
instructor may permit the student to submit a genuine piece of work to be
graded in place of the one plagiarized. If the student does not appeal, the
time allowed for submission of work is three weeks from the date of the
Registrar's letter of notification. In the case of an appeal, where the
instructor's allegation is upheld, the period of time allowed for submission is
as determined by the appropriate appeals Committee.
2. If, in the view of the instructor the
plagiarism was deliberate, the instructor shall complete an incident report in
a form approved by the Office of the Registrar, containing the student’s name and the particulars of
the incident, and shall submit it to the Registrar who will advise the Dean of
the Faculty concerned and the Chair of the student's program or department
where applicable. The Registrar shall notify the student by registered letter and/or
electronic mail of the regulations governing plagiarism, the possible
consequences, the student’s right to appeal, the right to
appear before the appropriate appeals committee, and the procedures involved. A
student appealing the charge of an academic offence must do so in writing
within three weeks of the date of the Registrar's letter of notification. On
receiving an incident report alleging an act of deliberate plagiarism, or on
receiving an incident report alleging a second commission of plagiarism by the
student which is determined viewed by the instructor to be as a result of
genuine misunderstanding, the Registrar shall refer the matter for a hearing to
the appropriate appeals committee. A student who wishes to respond to this
allegation is urged to submit to the appeals committee a written statement
regarding the case, within three weeks of the date of the Registrar’s letter of notification. The
Registrar shall inform the student by registered letter or electronic mail of
the referral to the appeals committee, and the wish of the Committee that the
student be present when the case is heard. A copy of the academic offence
report and attached information will be provided to the student in a timely
manner.
3. The appropriate appeals committee, upon the
conclusion of a hearing into the case, or following the review of the written
materials if the student does not appear, must make one or more of the
following findings prior to proceeding to an assessment of a penalty for
deliberate plagiarism.
a. On hearing a case involving a first incident report alleging that a
student has committed an act of deliberate plagiarism, the Appeals Committee
must first decide whether an act of plagiarism has occurred. If the Committee
so finds, the Committee must then determine whether the plagiarism was
deliberate, or an act of genuine misunderstanding. If the former, the appeals
committee will proceed to assess penalties in accordance with this Regulation,
if the latter, the appeals committee will assess no penalty, but will direct
the Registrar to note in the student’s academic file that the
student has had one finding of genuine misunderstanding.
b. If the case before the appeals committee (i) follows a prior finding of
plagiarism, or (ii) is a second allegation of plagiarism as a result of genuine
misunderstanding, the appeals committee may not make a further finding of
genuine misunderstanding in disposing of the case. The appeals committee may
only make a finding that the alleged act of plagiarism was deliberate plagiarism
or that the alleged act of plagiarism was not an act of plagiarism.
Penalities for Deliberate
Plagiarism
In case of a deliberate plagiarism, the
penalties are:
First Offence: If the student does not appeal, or if, on
appeal, the Committee upholds the instructor's allegation:
1. A notation will be placed on the
student's transcript of academic record concerning the academic offence. The
length of time the notation appears on the student's transcript of academic record
is to be decided when the penalty is imposed and will depend on the severity of
the offence.
2. The student may be required to submit a
satisfactory and genuine piece of work to replace the one involving plagiarism.
If the assignment is not resubmitted or is unsatisfactory, the student will
receive a grade of F (zero) in the course. Note: If this penalty is assessed,
the period of time allowed for the submission of the work will be determined by
the Registrar in consultation with the faculty member making the charge and,
where appropriate, the Committee.
3. The student will receive a grade of F
(zero) for the piece of work and, depending on the severity of the offence, may
receive a grade of F for the course.
4. Other penalties as outlined in
penalties for Other Academic Offences may be imposed.
Subsequent Offence: In cases where the Committee considers that
the student has plagarized again:
1. The student will receive a grade of F
for the course, and a notation of the academic offence will appear on the student's
transcript of record. The length of time the notation appears on the student's
transcript of academic record is to be decided when the penalty is imposed.
2. Other penalties as outlined in
penalties for Other Academic Offences may be imposed.
B. OTHER ACADEMIC OFFENCES
1. Cheating on examination, tests, assignments or
reports, including but not limited to:
a. Impersonating a candidate at an examination or test or in connection with
any assignment in a course or availing oneself of the results of impersonation.
b. Obtaining, through theft, bribery, collusion, purchase, or other improper
manner,
1. an examination or test paper prior to the date and time for writing the
examination or test;
2. academic materials belonging to another person, e.g. laboratory reports,
assignments, papers, computer materials, datasets.
2. Falsifying or knowingly submitting false
assignments or credentials, records, transcripts, or other academic documents.
3. Submitting a false health or other
certificate.
4. Submitting identical or substantially similar
work for one course or program of study, which has been or is being submitted
for another course or program of study, without the prior express knowledge and
approval of the instructors.
5. Interfering with the right of other students
to pursue their studies.
6. Knowing aiding or abetting any of the above
offences.
7. Tampering with, or altering, in any deceptive
way, work subsequently presented for a review of the grade awarded.
Procedures
The instructor and, where applicable, the
invigilator or other appropriate person shall, where practical, discuss the
matter with the student concerned.
The instructor or the instructor's
representative, if satisfied that an academic offence has been committed, shall
complete an academic offence incident report and shall submit it, together with
attached information, to the Registrar. The Registrar shall report it to the
Chair of the Department (where applicable) and the Dean of the Faculty
concerned. Each case will be referred by the Registrar to the appropriate
Committee for review and appropriate action. The Registrar shall inform the
student by registered letter and/or electronic mail of the referral to the
Committee, the student's right to respond, the wish of the Committee that the
student be present when the case is heard, and the procedures involved. A copy
of the academic offence report and attached information will be provided to the
student in a timely manner. The student is urged to submit to the Committee a
written statement regarding the case. A student responding to the decision,
shall do so in writing within three weeks of the date of the Registrar's letter
of notification.
Penalties
A student who is found guilty of an academic
offence will have two penalties imposed:
1. A notation on the student's transcript of
academic record concerning the academic offence. The length of time the
notation appears on the student's transcript of academic record is to be
decided when the penalty is imposed.
2. A grade of F (Zero) in an examination, test or
course.
One of the following penalties may also be imposed.
3. A recommendation to the President for
suspension for a specified period. The recommendation is to include the length
of time the notation is to appear on the student's transcript of academic
record.
4. A recommendation to the President for
expulsion from the University. If the student is expelled, a permanent notation
will appear on the student's transcript of academic record.
C. GENERAL
1. Consideration of a request to withdraw from a
course or courses involved in an academic offence will not be given until the
case is resolved.
2. Students on the Fredericton Campus will submit
appeals to the Senate Student Standings and Promotions Committee; on the Saint
John Campus, appeals will be submitted to the Students Appeals Committee.
