Rights & Responsibilities

Visiting Students are bound by the same academic rules and regulations as outlined by our Calendar.  The Visiting Student Program Office is always available to provide advice and guidance to prospective and current students, but the ultimate responsibility rests with the student to familiarize themselves with the academic rules and code of conduct at the University of Toronto.

ACADEMIC OFFENCES AND CODE OF CONDUCT
Visiting Students, as members of the University of Toronto community, assume certain responsibilities as well as are guaranteed rights and freedoms.  The University of Toronto assumes no general responsibility for the moral and social behavior of its students.  There are cases, however, that may be considered an ‘academic offence,’ as classified by the University of Toronto’s ‘Code of Conduct’.  Included in the offences under the Code of Student Conduct is cheating and plagiarism. The University of Toronto takes cheating and plagiarism in any form very seriously.  ‘Academic Officences’ are treated as a threat to the integrity of the institution as a whole and the penalties can be quite severe and will be noted on your academic record.

RETURNING VISITING STUDENTS
The Visiting Student Program Office reserves the right to refuse admission to any returning Visiting Students who are on probation, suspension or have been refused further registration by the University of Toronto or Woodsworth College.  Any previous UofT tuition fees or library fines must be cleared prior to re-applying.  Your UofT academic record will be reviewed should you consider re-applying as a Visiting Student, transferring as a degree student or applying to a professional or graduate program in any faculty or campus at the University of Toronto.

YOUR OFFICIAL RECORD
Grades are Permanent Records.  Your UofT academic record contains not only your registration and enrolment information, but your grades, results of any petitions, medical information related to your academic progress, and any letters of reference submitted on your behalf.  Please be advised that UofT grades, regardless of whether they are formally transferred back to your home university, will permanently remain on your UofT academic record.  This academic record will be reviewed should you consider re-applying as a Visiting Student, transferring as a degree student or applying to a professional or graduate program in any faculty or campus at the University of Toronto.

All courses taken, except those officially cancelled, will remain on your permanent record regardless of whether the grade is officially transferred back to your home university.
