Definitions of Assessment Offences

Plagiarism
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.

Cheating
Cheating in examinations can be defined as trying to gain unfair advantage over fellowstudents.
This includes:
 Having notes, programmable calculators or any other method to secure the informationwhich
are not allowed in the examination, whether the student use it or not;
 Having any mobile phone or other communication devices in the exam room;
 Copying from the examination script of another candidate;

Collusion
Collusion is a form of agreement between two or more people to act with the intention to deceive an
assessor as to who was responsible for producing the material submitted for assessment. The
agreement may be overt (openly discussed) or covert (not specifically discussed but implied). Using
someone else’s work, words, images, ideas or discoveries is equal to stealing the hard work. This
includes:
 agreeing with others to cheat;
 getting someone else to produce part or all your work;
 copying the work of another person (with their permission);
 submitting work from essay banks;
 paying someone to produce work for you; and
 allowing another student to copy your own work.

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 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.
