The Discipline: Student Policy and Discipline: Student Procedures ensure that student discipline proceedings for academic and general misconduct follow standard procedures. Key features of this policy are outlined below.
General misconduct is any behaviour in which is contrary to a policy of the University or to generally accepted standards of behaviour and includes behaviour which attacks, harasses, intimidates, threatens or endangers others.
Academic misconduct is cheating, attempting to cheat or assisting a fellow student to cheat, or submission of similar work. Any means used to obtain an unfair advantage in work submitted for assessment may be considered as cheating. Examples include cheating in examinations, intentional plagiarism (see Plagiarism Policy link below), collusion or submitting a false medical certificate in support of an application for special consideration. Penalties are outlined in Statute 4.1 (see below).
