An instructor may initiate procedures to debar a student from attending classes and from final examinations and/or from receiving credit where unexcused absences exceed those permitted.

Statement on Student Participation
in the Presentation or Discussion of Art


At the School of Art, required and elective courses may contain content that includes working from the nude model and language, imagery, or dialogue that may offend students. In viewing and discussing works of art, the School of Art encourages the broadest possible tolerance consistent with Canadian law. 


  UNCLAIMED STUDENT WORKBack to top

Return of Student Work

The recommended retention period for unclaimed student work is 4 months after the end of term, however, if the works in question are large and difficult to store, your faculty may set a shorter retention period, no less than 2 weeks. It is important to state that unclaimed assignments will become property of the School of Art and will be disposed of at its discretion 


  ACADEMIC INTEGRITYBack to top

Plagiarism and Cheating Policy

To plagiarize is to take ideas, lines of argument, or words of another person and pass them off as one’s own. In short, it is stealing something intangible rather than an object. Obviously, it is not necessary to state the source of well-known or easily verifiable facts, but students are expected to acknowledge the sources of ideas and expressions they use in their written work, whether quoted directly or paraphrased. This applies to diagrams, statistical tables and the like, as well as to written material, and materials or information from Internet sources. To provide adequate and correct documentation is not only an indication of academic honesty but is also a courtesy that enables the reader to consult these sources with ease. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism. It will also be considered plagiarism and/or cheating if a student submits a term paper written in whole or in part by someone other than him/herself, or copies the answer or answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment. Plagiarism or any other form of cheating in examinations, or term tests (e.g., crib notes) is subject to serious academic penalty (e.g. suspension or expulsion from the faculty or university). A student found guilty of contributing to cheating in examinations or term assignments is also subject to serious academic penalty.
