Responses on multiple-choice exams are normally checked by the Exam Security Computer Monitoring program. The program detects pairs of students with
unusually similar answer patterns on multiple-choice exams. Data generated by this program can be used as admissible evidence in an investigation of
cheating under Article 17 of the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures.
The Office of the Dean of Students administers the academic integrity process as described in the Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Note: All newly-admitted undergraduate and graduate students must complete a mandatory online academic integrity tutorial in their first
semester, accessed through Minerva > Student Menu > Academic Integrity Tutorial or a registration "hold" will be placed on their record. Prior to
Fall 2018, undergraduate students completed the tutorial in myCourses via the course AAAA 100, but as of Fall 2018 the tutorial must be completed
in Minerva. For more information, see mcgill.ca/students/srr/honest/students/test.
University Student Assessment Policy1.1.5
The University Student Assessment Policy includes all disparate policies with regard to all types of student assessments. This policy is meant to protect
students from excessive workloads, and to ensure that all students are treated equally.
This policy applies to undergraduate and graduate courses offered by the University that are evaluated by any form of assessment. Except where otherwise
indicated, this policy applies to all faculties, including those which administer their own examinations.
You can consult the policy on the Secretariat website.
Policy Concerning Access to Records1.1.6
The University sends statements of account and all other correspondence directly to students. You retain full control over who has access to your records or
accounts; however, officers and members of the University staff also have access to relevant parts of your records for recognized and legitimate use. The
University does not send progress reports or any other information to your parents and/or sponsors unless you specifically request it in writing.
