Plagiarism is an offence

  

Plagiarism: Submitting an assignment that contains other peoples work. All submitted work must be your own

–

Any work that is not your own must be clearly identified and sourced.



Any student found plagiarising will receive zero marks for that assessment. Partial marks will not be given, even if only part of the assignment is plagiarised. If this means that you do not meet an assessment hurdle, you will fail the subject. A student who plagiarises a second time will be sent to the university disciplinary committee. Penalties include expulsion from the university.
