All colleges and universities in Canada have academic integrity policies. Policies help us understand what the rules are and how to apply those rules. At the University of Saskatchewan, the Regulations on Student Academic Misconduct (2022) outlines
While these rules protect the reputation of the university and the rights of all its members, it is ultimately the responsibility of the entire university community to uphold and act in accordance with the rules.
