CONFLICT OF INTEREST

To avoid conflict of interest, instructors are expected to refrain from entering into any relationship with a student that may compromise, or that may reasonably appear to compromise, the instructor's exercise of professional responsibility. It is the responsibility of instructors to notify their Department Chair (or Dean where no Department structure exists) of any potential conflict of interest that may arise.

To avoid conflict of interest, the University will not normally permit students to enrol in a course that is taught by a member of their immediate family (spouse, parent, in-law, brother, sister, son, daughter or step-child). It is the responsibility of the instructors, in such instances, to notify their Department Chair (or Dean where no Department structure exists) of this or any other potential conflict of interest (for example, where the student is the client or patient of the instructor) that may arise.

Exceptions to this policy may be granted only by the Dean of the Faculty, School or Affiliated College in which the course is taught. Exceptions are granted only when the course is a mandatory part of the student's program, as specified in the Academic Calendar, and when no alternative is available.

When exceptions are granted, the Dean will make the necessary arrangements for independent evaluation of the student's work.
