The Nature and Importance of Academic Integrity

Students must adhere to the standards of academic integrity that are expected in the discipline/s in which they are
studying. At all times students must act honestly in the creation, development, application, and use of ideas and
information, particularly when submitting academic work which they are claiming as their own.

Academic integrity means that all academic work submitted for assessment as the work of a student is indeed the
work of that student, collaborations in the production or creation of academic work are acknowledged, academic
work is not falsified in any way, and only authorised resources are used by a student during assessment tasks. A
comprehensive description and examples of what constitutes a failure to meet academic integrity requirements is
contained in Schedule 3 of the Student Academic Integrity Policy. Any failure to meet academic integrity
requirements, including cheating, plagiarism and fabrication or falsification of data, is unacceptable and there may
be serious consequences for such actions.

Detection of failures to meet requirements of Academic Integrity

Staff use a range of methods (including electronic means) to assist in the detection of possible failures to meet the
requirements of academic integrity. The University has mandated the use of text-matching for all text-based
student assignments. Except where the Student Academic Integrity Procedures provide for an exemption under
special circumstances, all text-based student assignments will be subject to text-matching in conjunction with their
submission for assessment.

The University makes available for student use electronic text matching software, which can be accessed through
the Flinders Learning Online Academic Integrity Site.

Have any exemptions from the requirement for the application of text-matching software to student assignments
due to special circumstances been approved by the College Dean (Education) for this topic?

No
