Welcome to the Office of Student Academic Integrity (OSAI)

What is OSAI?

OSAI is designated by the Dean of Arts and Science to promote academic integrity (AI), to handle allegations of academic misconduct at the divisional level for the Faculty of Arts and Science (FAS), and to advise instructors, staff and students on matters related to academic integrity, academic misconduct, and the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters -- the policy that informs all procedures related to academic misconduct at the University.

OSAI, in collaboration with the Academic Success Centre, also promotes AI to FAS students through workshops, lectures, and meetings.  If you would like a member of OSAI to speak to your class or student group, please contact us at osai.artsci@utoronto.ca

Please note that OSAI is responsible for administering only the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters.  For issues or concerns arising in relation to the Code of Student Conduct, please contact Christopher Lang, Director of Appeals, Discipline and Faculty Grievances at (416) 946-7663.
