WARNING – ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

 

The University’s policy on Good Academic Conduct applies. Plagiarism, collusion and other forms of misconduct identified by the Policy are serious offences leading to potentially very severe disciplinary consequences.  Cases of academic misconduct WILL be reported.

 

 

In a nutshell plagiarism means passing off somebody else’s efforts as your own work.

 

The following are NOT permitted:

  • Copying somebody else’s work in whole or in part
  • Getting somebody else to help you with the specific content of your assignment (only general discussion with somebody else about the topics covered in the assignment is permitted – not discussion about the specific assignment contents)
  • Getting somebody else to correct your work
  • Copying (or cutting and pasting) text or web site content into your assignment without attribution of the source with full academic referencing
  • Quoting more than 100 words of text verbatim even with attribution to the source

 

Any student who assists another student to plagiarise or collude (by allowing their work to be copied or by specific assistance/checking another student’s work) or participates in any other form of misconduct is ALSO guilty of misconduct and will be penalised along with the student who has been assisted.
