ICM Expectations on Academic Integrity

ICM expects that students will approach their academic activities with honesty and integrity. Students are responsible to be aware of ethical behavior in their academic work and to ask for information and clarification to ensure they adhere to the principles of academic integrity. All incidents of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or interference with other students’ academic work and performance will be referred to the Academic Manager. Students found in breach of the regulations related to cheating and plagiarism will be subject to the following measures:  First Offence: Student will be awarded “0” marks for the assessment and given a permanent record in his or her file.  Second Offence: Student will be awarded “F” in the course, regardless of whether the second offence was committed in the same course or another course.  Third Offence: Student risks expulsion from ICM and the cancellation of his or her studies with ICM. Instructor will initially meet with the student to discuss the incident, and to determine whether the student requires additional training with respect to the behavior. All incidents of academic misconduct will be recorded in a “Letter of Allegation,” with one copy given to the student and another kept in the student’s file. The Academic Manager will meet with all students who receive a Letter of Allegation to discuss the incident and provide an opportunity for the student to address the allegation. The Academic Manager will also determine the need for additional education regarding academic integrity and to review the consequences of subsequent violations....
