Academic Integrity and Ethics
Requirement for Academic Integrity / Ethics Training for Graduate Students
The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research has established a new requirement for graduate students who began their studies September 2004 or later. This requirement is for training in academic integrity and ethics. As Dr. Teresa Krukoff stated it, "the initiative for graduate ethics training was developed as a result of an increasing awareness of the need to provide structured graduate education in the areas of research and scholarship integrity, and the need to define more clearly the boundaries of ethically acceptable research." Departments were required to develop plans for providing this training to their graduate students. The plans needed to include at least 8 hours of "structured academic activity". Beginning in Fall 2022, the NEW Ethics and Academic Citizenship Requirement will replace the current Academic Integriy and Ethics Training Requirement.
This plan will enable our students to receive training on integrity and ethical issues common to all students in graduate programs as well as issues particular to clinical professions.
