Academic misconduct is a very serious offence and includes plagiarism, cheating, or intent to cheat, falsification of research, or any other acts or omissions which in the opinion of the Chair of Academic board reasonably represents academic misconduct.
Any allegation of dishonest action relating to any assessment or the preparation of work required for assessment in a subject shall be reported to the head of School who shall take immediate steps to fully investigate the allegation.
Refer to the full University policy on Student Academic Misconduct Requirements for information regarding types of academic misconduct, procedures involved in investigating academic misconduct, and penalties that may apply in cases of proven plagiarism.
The pharmacy profession also considers academic misconduct to be very serious and in some cases it has led to exclusion of students from university and has prevented graduates from registering in their chosen profession when they finally complete their degree.
