Assessment Offences
Academic offences include plagiarism, cheating, collusion, copying work and reusing your own work among others. The University takes academic offences very seriously and this can lead to expulsion. We make every effort to ensure that the students will avoid committing such offences. The need for maintaining the order in examination and non-examination is to preserve the highest standard of academic integrity. Students are reminded to produce and submit their original work. 

 

Definitions of Assessment Offences
Plagiarism can be defined as the significant use of other people's work and the submission of it as though it were one's own in assessed coursework (such as dissertations, essays, experiments etc.). This includes: Copying from another student's work; Copying text without acknowledgement; Downloading information and/or text from the internet and using it without acknowledgement; Submitting work and claiming it to be own when it has been produced by another group; and Submitting group work without acknowledging all contributors. The university uses software packages to detect plagiarism.

 

Methods to Avoid Academic Offence
Students are advised to avoid copying and using other people’s work without citation and acknowledgement. It is compulsory for students to include the references and the source of information. This will allow students to avoid plagiarism. 

 

Procedures for Assessment Offences
If students are caught committing the offence, a report of the offence will be written. Students will be called for a mini hearing whereby students can justify their action. The University has the right to suspend or even terminate the student should University found the action as a serious offence. Kindly refer to MAHSA Student Handbook for more details.
