Any behaviour that undermines the University's ability to evaluate fairly students' academic achievements, or any behaviour that a student knew, or reasonably ought to have known, could gain them or others unearned academic advantage or benefit, counts as academic misconduct (Policy 60: Academic Integrity). The range of penalties include a grade reduction, up to and including a zero on the exam, an “F” in the course and/or suspension/withdrawal/expulsion from the University. All findings of academic misconduct will include a Disciplinary Notation on your internal academic record. You are responsible for being familiar with the Academic Integrity Policy . For more information, please visit the Academic Integrity Office website.

Guidelines for proper conduct in exams, and penalties for misconduct are listed in the Final Examination Policy , Academic Integrity Policy , and the Student Code of Non-Academic Conduct . It is your responsibility to read and understand them. See below for specific exam procedures.
