Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means uploading those principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUTs learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of content matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUTs approach to academic integrity are outlined in the academic integrity policy and the student code of conduct. Breaching QUTs academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.
