General Information
Students are required to be familiar with the university code Conduct, and to abide by
its terms and conditions.
13.1 Copying of Copyright Material by Student
A condition of acceptance as a student is the obligation to abide by the University’s
policy on the copying of copyright material. This obligation covers photocopying of any
material using the University’s photocopying machines, and the recording off air, and
making subsequent copies, of radio or television broadcasts, and photocopying
textbooks. Students who flagrantly disregard University policy and copyright
requirements will be liable to disciplinary action under the Code of Conduct.
13.2 Academic Misconduct
Please refer to the Code of Conduct for definitions and penalties for Academic
Misconduct, plagiarism, collusion, and other specific acts of academic dishonesty.
Academic honesty is crucial to a student's credibility and self-esteem, and ultimately
reflects the values and morals of the University as a whole. A student may work
together with one or a group of students discussing assignment content, identifying
relevant references, and debating issues relevant to the subject. Academic investigation
is not limited to the views and opinions of one individual, but is built by forming opinion
based on past and present work in the field. It is legitimate and appropriate to
synthesize the work of others, provided that such work is clearly and accurately
referenced. Plagiarism occurs when the work (including such things as text, figures,
ideas, or conceptual structure, whether verbatim or not) created by another person or
persons is used and presented as one’s own creation, unless the source of each
quotation or piece of borrowed material is acknowledged with an appropriate citation.
Encouraging or assisting another person to commit plagiarism is a form of improper
collusion and may attract the same penalties. To prevent Academic Misconduct
occurring, students are expected to familiarize themselves with the University policy,
the Subject Outline statements, and specific assignment guidelines. Students should also
seek advice from Subject Leaders on acceptable academic conduct.

13.3 Guidelines to Avoid Plagiarism
Whenever you copy more than a few words from any source, you must acknowledge
that source by putting the quote in quotation marks and providing the name of the
author. Full details must be provided in your bibliography. If you copy a diagram,
statistical table, map, etc., you must acknowledge the source. The recommended way is
to show this under the diagram. If you quote any statistics in your text, the source
should be acknowledged. Again full details must be provided in your bibliography.
Whenever you use the ideas of any other author you should acknowledge those, using
the APA (American Psychological Association) style of referencing.
Students are encouraged to co-operate, but collusion is a form of cheating. Students
may use any sources (acknowledged of course) other than the assignments of fellow
students. Unless your Subject Leader informs you otherwise, the following guideline
should be used: Students may work together in obtaining references, discussing the
content of the references and discussing the assignment, but when they write, they
must write alone.
13.4 Referencing For Written Work
Referencing is necessary to acknowledge others' ideas, avoid plagiarism, and allow
readers to access those others’ ideas. Referencing should:
1. Acknowledge others' ideas
2. Allow readers to find the source
3. be consistent in format and
4. Acknowledge the source of the referencing format
To attain these qualities, the school recommends use of either the Harvard or American
Psychological Association style of referencing, both of which use the author/date.
