University of Toronto’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters “To this end, all must acknowledge that seeking credit or other advantages by fraud or misrepresentation, or seeking to disadvantage others by disruptive behaviour is unacceptable, as is any dishonesty or unfairness in dealing with the work or record of a student” (University of Toronto, Governing Council, 1995, § B).
University of Toronto’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters “Wherever in this Code an offence is described as depending on ‘knowing’, the offence shall likewise be deemed to have been committed if the person ought reasonably to have known” (University of Toronto, Governing Council, 1995, § B).
University of Toronto’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters § B.i.1. “It shall be an offence for a student knowingly …. “(d) to represent as one’s own any idea or expression of an idea or work of another in any academic examination or term test or in connection with any other form of academic work, i.e. to commit plagiarism”

University of Toronto’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters § B.i.4. “A graduate of the University may be charged with any of the above offences committed knowingly while he or she was an active student, when, in the opinion of the Provost, the offence, if detected, would have resulted in a sanction sufficiently severe that the degree would not have been granted at the time that it was.”
University of Toronto’s Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters Sanctions are outlined in § C and Appendix C. They may include:
0 on the assignment (for assignments worth 10% or less of the final grade)
