Academic Responsibilities

Your Academic Responsibilities

As a student, you have a number of academic responsibilities:

Upholding ethical standards in your academic work

You are responsible for the integrity of your academic work. This includes properly acknowledging and referencing your sources, and accurately representing your own work.

If you are found guilty of engaging in academic misconduct (such as cheating, acts of plagiarism, acts of fabrication, recycling content, colluding, falsifying data or ghost writing/contract cheating), depending on the severity of misconduct, you may receive a reduced mark, a fail grade for the assessment piece or the subject or you may even be suspended or expelled from the University.
