5 Responsibilities of Instructors

All correspondence pertaining to student matters must be communicated through a University of Regina email address (Outlook). All faculty and university related emails will be sent to your University of Regina email address. This email address is also used to notify you of course cancellations and other important information. 

For more information about Outlook, please visit: M365 Hub | University of Regina (uregina.ca)

By the first class, all instructors should be able to access the class lists through DOME (Dynamic Online Mark Entry), formerly known as Web Mark Entry.

You can also access class lists under participants on UR Courses. If you are not able to access DOME, please contact your home faculty or department.

Students registered at the University of Regina are expected to behave responsibly and with propriety and are expected to abide by the policies and regulations of the University of Regina. When students fail to meet these expectations, the University reserves the right, under the University of Regina Act, to take whatever action it deems warranted by students’ misconduct. The University will concern itself with misconduct including – but not limited to – the following examples:

Academic Misconduct

i) Cheating: This includes but is not limited to dishonest or attempted dishonest conduct at tests or examinations, in which use is made of books, notes, diagrams or other aids not authorized by the examiner. It includes communicating with others for the purpose of obtaining information, copying from the work of others and purposely exposing or conveying information to other students who are taking the test or examination.

ii) Plagiarism: This includes but is not limited to the presentation or submission of the work of another person, without citation or credits, as the student’s own work. Plagiarism is that form of academic dishonesty in which one person submits or presents the work of another person as his or her own. Scholarship quite properly rests upon examining and referring to the thoughts and writings of others; however, whenever such thoughts or writings are used in students’ work, the author and source must be clearly acknowledged through footnotes, endnotes, or other accepted practices. Substantial plagiarism exists when there is no recognition given to the author for phrases, sentences, thoughts, code, or arguments incorporated in written work or software.

Complete plagiarism exists when a whole essay or piece of software is copied from an author, or composed by another person and presented as original work. Unless prior approval has been obtained, a similar situation is created when the same essay or software is submitted for credit in more than one course. All forms of academic dishonesty, including misrepresentation in essay work, are considered serious offences within the University community.

Disruption of Instructional Activities

This includes student conduct which makes it difficult or impossible to proceed with scheduled lectures, seminars, laboratory sessions, discussion group meetings, and related activities, and with examinations, tests or use of library facilities.

Damage to Property and Assaults on Individuals

This includes student conduct which leads to damage to or theft of university property or the personal property of members of faculty and staff, or of fellow students. It also includes assaults on any member of the University community.

Respectful Policy

The purpose of this policy is to support a respectful workplace and learning environment through the prevention and swift resolution of harassment and discriminatory incidents.

This policy focuses upon the rights and obligations set out in The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code. It also covers certain anti-harassment obligations set out in The Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993. Managers, employees and students of the University of Regina are expected to take all complaints of harassment seriously.
The University will implement, maintain, promote and further develop this policy in order to promote a productive and respectful workplace and to prevent and stop harassment.

This policy applies to members of the University, which includes:

1. employees (faculty, staff and student employees),
2. students,
3. all people who teach and conduct research at the University, and
4. all members of university committees (including the Senate and Board of Governors).

Third parties are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with this policy. Compliance with this policy shall be deemed to be an implied term of all contracts and agreements with the University and is a condition of access to the University.
