Plagiarism
The following is an extract from the Faculty of Arts Policy on Plagiarism:
- It is University policy that cheating by students in any form is not permitted and that work submitted for assessment purposes is the independent work of the student concerned (or, where joint work is permitted, of the students concerned) and written by that student in their own words. This is in keeping with the rules made by the University Council under Statute 12.2.10(1).
- Plagiarism, or copying of another's work without proper acknowledgment, is not permitted.
- Neither is it permissible to allow another person to copy your own work for the purposes of assessment.
In any case in which a student has been involved in plagiarism, this shall be reported to the Institute's Director. If the finding is proven, a zero may be returned for that task or a fail for that subject. The matter will be reported to the Faculty of Arts.
More comprehensive plagiarism information is available as a Word Document.
