It is an expectation of all students, staff, faculty and educational partners to be aware of and comply with Durham College’s high standard of academic integrity. There is a wide variety of supports available to the College community to support academic integrity. The College will work to design curricula, assessments and learning environments that support academic integrity. The College will provide information and guidance about the nature of and penalties for academic dishonesty. All suspected breaches of this policy will be repported to the appropriate executive dean/dean or associate dean. Penalties for academic dishonesty will be applied progressively, consider the entire student academic history at Durham College and be commensurate with the nature of the offence.

Durham College faculty and staff can reduce and/or eliminate opportunities for breaches of academic integrity through preventative methodologies.
