What is academic misconduct?

Assessment Misconduct
Students are expected to take
responsibility for the integrity of their own work. Any improper behaviour or
activity which
may give you an advantage in a summative assessment is
considered to be an act of academic misconduct. This includes,
but not limited
to:

using published work without referencing,

copying another person’s work,

allowing coursework to be used or copied,

permitting another person to sit a time-constrained assessment/examination in one's place

submitting or using another person's work as your own, e.g computer file/program/design/drawings/results,

falsifying the results of practical activities,

purchase,or
evidence of the intention to purchase, material from a third party to use in full or in part in any from of assessed work whether or not that
material is used in assessed work,

the supply of material for purchase by another student, whether or not that material is used in assessed work

bringing unauthorised material into an examination,

communicating
with another person or persons during a time-constrained assessment/examination by any means, including electronic devicesre-

If
your assessment submission is viewed as a potential case of academic misconduct, you will not see a mark on the mark
release date. Also, your
module leader (or in some cases, module tutor) should have reported your case to the Conducts
Team and they will explain to you in the turnitin general comment box the reason why your submission is not marked.  You
will then be invited to an investigative interview with a panel on a mutually agreed date and time. After the interview, the
panel
will make a decision and the Conducts Team will process your case. Depending on the severity of your case, the
decision may be 'not upheld,' 'partially upheld- penalty applied,' or 'academic offence- failed.'
