Academic Honesty Policy
Academic dishonesty is a serious academic offence that will
result in a severe academic penalty. The SFU policy on academic
honesty is stated in the Code of Academic Honesty (T 10.02).
All students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with
these policies. Ignorance of these standards will not preclude
the imposition of penalties.
Plagiarism is the most common form of academic dishonesty
arising in the context of students fulfilling their academic
responsibilities. It involves using another author’s words
without proper attribution. Plagiarism includes self-plagiarism,
which involves submitting substantively the same work for
academic evaluation more than once.
The following acts will be treated as instances of plagiarism:
· Submitting, in fulfillment of course requirements, a paper
paper or other work, or part thereof, that has been written,
produced or researched by another person.
