Academic Integrity & Contract Cheating: Atlantic Canada Higher Education Forum

May 10, 2022

Our colleagues in Atlantic Canada have organized their first-ever event on academic integrity and contract cheating. If you can attend, please support them by registering and joining in. I have attached a poster you are welcome to circulate within your own networks. I have also included some of the content from the poster in this e-mail for convenience. I do not know the deadline to register, but I would encourage you to register as soon as possible so the organizers can plan accordingly. Please share this information with your networks.

Academic Integrity & Contract Cheating: Atlantic Canada Higher Education Forum

Wednesday, May 25, 2022

1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Atlantic Standard Time

Saint Mary’s University is hosting a virtual forum on academic integrity and contract cheating in the Atlantic Canadian region.

The forum will be led by members of academic staff with practical experience in the academic integrity process at their institutions. In addition to sharing knowledge and best practices, the conversation will address challenges and lessons learned from the pandemic and increased remote delivery of curriculum. The aim of the event is to begin to develop a shared framework of practice when it comes to increased student reliance on large-scale companies promoting and selling so-called ‘academic services’ to students.

To register for this event, please send an email to:

Marie Harding

marie.harding (at) smu.ca

An access link for the event will be sent to registered participants. 

For information about this event, please contact:

Dr. Tatjana Takševa 

Professor and Chairperson of the Saint Mary’s University Academic Senate
