University of Guelph-Humber

Everyone!  You're responsible for your own work. Your instructors are responsible for reporting misconduct, as are you if you're aware of anyone who is violating our standards of academic integrity. Finally, the Vice-Provost is responsible for ensuring academic integrity.

• Plagiarism: misappropriation of others’ work 
• Copying other quizzes, tests, or examination answers 
• Collaborating on assignments without permission and using ideas without appropriate acknowledgement 
• Fabricating or falsifying data and documents (ex. medical notes, reports, records) 
• Engaging in other forms of deceit and abetting others 

You can commit academic dishonesty without even realizing it. 

It depends on the seriousness of the incident, your cooperation, and your remorse (what you learned). If it’s determined that you've acted dishonestly, or if you admit to the charges, an appropriate course of action will be imposed. Withdrawing from a course will not prevent the Vice-Provost from imposing or recommending a course of action. 

Some examples of potential penalties include: 

• A caution 
• A grade adjustment 
• Failure of the course 
• Suspension 
• Expulsion 
• Any other suitable penalty as decided by the Vice-Provost 

Visit the Academic Misconduct page for more information.

There are lots of things you can do to avoid academic misconduct: 

• Be proud of your accomplishments at the University of Guelph-Humber 
• Challenge inappropriate behaviour 
• Know the rules (and check if you’re ever in doubt) 
• Be honest 
• Practice good time management 
• Make sure all your work is your own 
• Use the citation guides from Library Services to correctly cite your sources 
  • Try using the program-specific Proper Citation Tutorial to learn how to correctly cite different types of sources 
• Understand what is required of you 
• Be a positive influence on others

As a new student, you received your Gryph Mail username and password to the personal email account that you provided in your application. 

The University of Guelph-Humber’s current system for Gryph Mail, Microsoft Office 365, provides users with greater storage capacity, simpler mobile compatibility, better security, and improved collaboration, among other benefits. 

Use your Gryph Mail UserID and password to access the following services: 

• UofGH email and calendar system, plus OneDrive (it's like Google Drive, but tied directly to your Gryph Mail account) 
• Office 365 
• WebAdvisor 
• Your course websites on CourseLink 
• Microsoft Teams
• The virtual private network (VPN) 
• The UofGH wifi network on campus 

What is Office 365? 

"Office 365" refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications, plus other cloud-based productivity services such as Exchange Online (email and calendar), OneDrive for Business (cloud storage), and SharePoint Online (document collaboration). All students, staff & faculty have free access to Office 365, which is why it's the University of Guelph-Humber's official means of communication. 

How can I download Office 365?

Microsoft Teams

If you've joined your First Year Experience (FYE) group, then you're already familiar with Microsoft Teams! Think of Teams as a secure communication and instant messaging channel for UofGH students, staff, and faculty. You can use Teams to chat with your classmates, attend society events, meet with your Academic Advisor, and more. And it's all tied to your Gryph Mail, so you don't have to create a new account or share any of your personal details.

Then, review the Quick Start Guide to learn the basics of Microsoft Teams.

As a new student, a Humber N number (in the format of n01234567) and password were sent to the personal email account you provided in your application. This login information gives you access to the following services: 

• Co-Curricular Record (CCR)
• On-campus computers 
• Human Resources Management System (HRMS) – if you work a campus job, you’ll use this website 

Your Humber N number is valid as long as you're a student at the University, but you’ll need to update your password once a year for security purposes. You can reset or change your password online. 

You can receive technical support from both the University of Guelph and Humber College.
