Malpractice addresses offences that, while they do not fall under the strict definitions of cheating or plagiarism, undermine the integrity of the University's academic assessments. |
| |
| Malpractice in University assessment occurs when a candidate attempts to mislead or deceive the examiners concerning the work submitted for assessment. |
|
| |
Malpractice includes:
- Theft of the work of other students
- Submitting assignments obtained from others, whether within or outside of the University, including on a commercial basis
- Fabrication of results or evidence
- Theft or misrepresentation of identity (including requesting others to undertake an assessment)
- Misrepresenting or defaming the work or opinions of others
- Resubmitting your own work when this has already been awarded marks or credits without permission to do so (including if the work submitted was for a different module or for a different qualification)
- Colluding with others to submit work which is not entirely your own (except where this is permitted for the specific assignment concerned)
- Making a fraudulent statement concerning the work submitted for assessment or your candidature for assessment (including the false signing of a declaration of integrity)
- Knowingly aiding another student to copy your own work or the work of others
Cases of malpractice are dealt with very severely although the penalties applied will vary according to the level of study and the seriousness of the offence.
