Grade (% of course) 30% 20% 50% Rules and Regulations All policies of the University of Guelph, the Ontario Veterinary College and the Department of Population Medicine apply. It is the responsibility of each student to be familiar with these policies. Graduate Calendar The Graduate Academic Calendar is the source of information about the University of Guelph s procedures, policies and regulations which apply to graduate programs Academic Misconduct The Academic Misconduct Policy is detailed in the Graduate Calendar The University of Guelph is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and it is the responsibility of all members of the University community faculty, staff, and students to be aware of what constitutes academic misconduct and to do as much as possible to prevent academic offences from occurring. University of Guelph students have the responsibility of abiding by the University's policy on academic misconduct regardless of their location of study; faculty, staff and students have the responsibility of supporting an environment that discourages misconduct. Students need to remain aware that instructors have access to and the right to use electronic and other means of detection. 6

7 Please note: Whether or not a student intended to commit academic misconduct is not relevant for a finding of guilt. Hurried or careless submission of assignments does not excuse students from responsibility for verifying the academic integrity of their work before submitting it. Students who are in any doubt as to whether an action on their part could be construed as an academic offence should consult with a faculty member or faculty advisor. The investigation of cases of academic misconduct cases and the cases that are heard at the Admissions and Progress Committee indicate that many graduate students, especially those new to Canada, are not aware of University regulations reflected in the attached statements. In particular, issues related to academic consideration, dropping courses, and lack of awareness of behaviour that constitutes academic misconduct may all lead to disruption or delay of a student's academic studies and require considerable time and effort from faculty and administrative staff to resolve resulting problems. In the case of the graduate academic misconduct policy, the Graduate Calendar states: "It should not be possible for a student to claim that he/she was not warned about the University's academic misconduct regulations, what constitutes academic misconduct and the potential consequences of transgressing." Referencing Policy Written work that is not properly referenced will be considered to be below the standard expected in this course and will be returned to the student with no mark. The student will be expected to re- submit the paper during the next class, fully and properly referenced in order to have the paper accepted for grading. Failure to re- submit the paper will result in a grade of zero (0) on the assignment. Among other things, proper referencing involves the consistent use of a single referencing style. Copies of out- of- class assignments Keep paper and/or other reliable back- up copies of all out- of- class assignments: you may be asked to resubmit work at any time. Accessibility The University of Guelph is committed to creating a barrier- free environment. Providing services for students is a shared responsibility among students, faculty and administrators. This relationship is based on respect of individual rights, the dignity of the individual and the University community's shared commitment to an open and supportive learning environment. Students requiring service or accommodation, whether due to an identified, ongoing disability or a short- term disability should contact the Centre for Students with Disabilities as soon as possible.
