Academic Dishonesty

Academic dishonesty occurs when a course registrant (student) knowingly and deliberately seeks to obtain an unfair advantage for him/herself or another person for academic benefit. The CSMLS Board of Directors takes the issue of academic dishonesty very seriously. Anyone who engages in academic dishonesty while taking a CSMLS continuing education course and/or module may be subject to academic penalty.

The CSMLS has provided all course registrants with the Academic Dishonesty policy, outlining examples of dishonest behaviours and penalties. Please take a moment to read through the policy.
