As per the Student Conduct/Academic Integrity section of the University Academic Regulations:
The Carleton University Academic Integrity Policy applies to all students. Regarding Tests and Examinations, the policy states that:
The University is committed to ensuring fairness and consistency in the completion of examinations. As part of this commitment, students are required to follow proper examinations procedures. A student who commits a violation of this Policy on an examination, test, or takehome examination, or obtains or produces an answer or unfair advantage are subject to sanction under this Policy. This includes but is not limited to:
- bringing to the examination/test room any unauthorized material;
- writing an examination or part of it, by consulting any person or materials outside the confines of the examination room without permission to do so;
- intentionally leaving answer papers exposed to view;
- attempting to read other students’ examination papers;
- speaking to another student (even if the subject matter is irrelevant to the test);
- disrupting or delaying a test or examination;
- failing to comply with the instruction of a University official administering an examination.
A violation of this Policy may also occur by breaching one of the Rules and Procedures of Examinations.
