GRAD 7500 Academic Integrity Tutorial
by Martha Blouw 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

[University of Manitoba Faculty of Graduate Studies] Academic Integrity is a matter of paramount importance in academia. It is the foundation of scholarly work. Yet too many graduate students find themselves facing allegations of breach of Academic Integrity. To help graduate students better understand the issues surrounding Academic Integrity, the Senate of the University of Manitoba passed a motion requiring all graduate students to take a compulsory tutorial on Academic Integrity. Beginning in the Fall 2015-16 all graduate students must register for and complete GRAD 7500 Academic Integrity Tutorial. This is a zero (0) credit-hour course intended to introduce students to their basic responsibilities regarding academic integrity and to the resources available to them. Please register for GRAD 7500 in Fall 2015 term: CRN 16892 Failure to successfully complete this course will result in suspension of registration privileges. This course runs entirely online and is comprised of a series of brief videos (the total duration of these videos is approximately 1 hour) followed by a true/false test. Students must achieve 100% on the test in order to complete the tutorial and receive a pass grade for the course. If necessary, the test may be taken multiple times until a 100% grade is achieved. The Academic Integrity course is accessed through UM Learn using your JUMP login. To access the course, go to https://universityofmanitoba.desire2learn.com/d2l/login. Enter your UMNetID username and password. Once you have logged in, click Academic Integrity under My Courses. Additional details are provided on UM Learn once the course is entered. Complete instructions for the tutorial are attached to this email and available here<http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/htmlmail/Academic_Integrity_Instructio…>. *Note: Students graduating in October 2015 are not required to GRAD 7500. Students on an exceptional/parental leave of absence must register in GRAD 7500 upon return from leave. Thank you for your cooperation. j ________________________________ Faculty of Graduate Studies * 500 University Centre * Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/umgradstudies/> * Twitter<http://www.twitter.com/umgradstudies/> * FGS Website<http://umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies/> ________________________________

Food garbage
by Bev Godard 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi to all, Would you please put food garbage in the grad lounge garbage rather than the garbage in your grad offices. The garbage in the grad lounge is to be picked up daily. I will check this, but I think the grad office garbage pickup may only be weekly, so any food will be pretty bad by the time the garbage is picked up from your office. Also there are no caretakers here over weekends. Thanks Bev Bev Godard Secretary to the Department Head Department of Plant Science 222 Agriculture Building University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 PH: 204-474-8563 FAX: 204-474-7528 Bev.Godard(a)umanitoba.ca
