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. Students who registered for GRAD 7500 in Fall 2015 have until December 23, 2015 to successfully complete the course. New students who are starting their graduate program in Winter 2016 are required to register for GRAD 7500 in Winter 2016 term: CRN 26205 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 GRAD 7500 - Academic Integrity tutorial under My Courses.

Forwarded on behalf of Megan! We (soil science graduate student association ) are going to have a "soils" themed bake sale next wednesday Dec 2 1230 - 130 at our dept. seminar series since National Soils Day is Dec 5 and is a Saturday. Dr. Mario Tenuta will be presenting that day as well. If anyone wishes to volunteer some baking they can email me (westphme(a)cc.umanitoba.ca) by Monday to let me know if they would like to donate some baking and where to bring it to store until the bake sale. It doesnt have to be soils themed but if they wish to get creative the option is there. All proceeds will be going to the SSGSA. Thanks so much, Megan
