Office of Student Academic Integrity (OSAI) at the University of Toronto offers TOP 5 TIPS to help you avoid carelessly committing an acedemic offence during your exams.

1. Listen to and follow all instructions!
2. Leave all unauthorized aids in your bag/at home!
   Possession of an unauthorized aid is an offence! If you're not sure what's authorized, ask. Aids include notes of any kind or personal electronic device.
3. A cellphone is an unauthorized aid!
   That means if you've got it on your desk, in your pocket, or anywhere near you, you are committing an offence.
4. Keep your eyes and thoughts to yourself!
   You may only be looking around to clear your head or mumbling to yourself, but invigilators don't know that!
5. "Stop writing" means stop writing!
   When the exam is over, put your pen/pencil down! If you keep writing, you are committing an academic offence!
