Academic Integrity

By submitting your admission requirements, you are agreeing to comply with Sheridan's Academic Integrity Policy.

The Academic Integrity Policy states:

Sheridan College is committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity. The International Centre for Academic Integrity (ICAI) defines academic integrity as "a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage. From these values flow principles of behaviour that enable academic communities to translate ideals into action."

Applicants who are found to have falsified transcripts, cheated on admission tests, or submitted fraudulent documents or in any other way attempted to circumvent the admissions process in a manner inconsistent with the principles of academic integrity, will not be granted admission to the College. Those applicants will be ineligible for admission to any Sheridan program or course for a period of not less than five years, after which admission to the College will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

For Art and Design portfolios, when considering your choices for your original character design, please know that the program does not accept any existing cartoon characters/artwork in any part of your portfolio. This will be considered plagiarism. Do not trace, copy or rotoscope images from any secondary source (animated or live action). We want to see your ideas and imagination. All artwork submitted must be created by you and not involving any use of AI-generative imagery, artificial intelligence (AI), or text-to-image tools (e.g. DALL-E, Midjourney, etc.). Any breach of this will result in a zero grade on your portfolio and will be disqualified. Violations are subject to disciplinary action.
