Examination Code of Conduct (Students) - Student Academic Honesty Policy
All students must adhere to the College’s Examination Code of Conduct, which are communicated to them before the scheduled assessment.
Students are expected to be authors of their own work, and to cite and credit when they use other authors’/artists’ work or ideas.
In the event of proven use of others’ work in place of your own, without citing and crediting the original source, will be penalised. Failure to understand and follow protocol on academic conduct may ultimately result in a student being subjected to disciplinary actions or terminated from their course.
Academic misconduct can be broken down into the four categories below:
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is presenting another person’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent. In addition, when student incorporates it into their work, without citing and crediting the original source. Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional.
Collusion
Copying another student’s work with their knowledge and consent.
Commission
Paying another person to prepare and complete the assignment or coursework.
Cheating during examination
Any form of communication with other students or external sources. Bringing unauthorised materials/technology into the examination venue.
Due diligence will be performed to determine if the above academic misconduct has taken place. The following are examples of evidence of plagiarism:
Text from a known source, without citing or crediting
Inconsistent writing structure
Changes in font
Work not in keeping with the student’s usual standard
Inappropriate referencing convention
Web addresses still attached to the copied text
Irrelevant content
Lack of personal voice
