If you must go through the academic integrity process outlined in Academic Regulation A-4 (Academic Integrity and Academic Misconduct), a professor or your faculty may ask you to take part in an academic integrity session with a writing mentor. If so, go to the bookings page and schedule a session.
Note: Academic integrity sessions aren鈥檛 just for students who鈥檝e received sanctions. They鈥檙e also open to those seeking to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the topic, and can be invaluable for all students.
