Students at the School of Continuing Studies are required to comply with the University of Toronto Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters. This Code governs all academic transgressions, including plagiarism and the use of unauthorized aids, such as generative AI, on assignments, examinations, and other academic work.
Many students may not realize that they are committing plagiarism in their course work. If you are using the ideas of others in your written work and are unsure if you are citing sources properly or committing a form of plagiarism, please see the following information on the Writing at the University of Toronto website:

- Plagiarism: http://www.writing.utoronto.ca/advice/using-sources/how-not-to-plagiarize
Use of generative AI tools on assignments may be considered use of an unauthorized aid, which is a form of cheating. If you have any questions or doubts about whether you should use AI in your assignments or other academic work, contact your course instructor for clarification.
