Academic dishonesty covers any attempt by a student to gain unfair advantage (e.g. extra marks) for her/himself, or for other students, by unauthorised means. Examples of such dishonesty include collusion, deceit, plagiarism and cheating in examinations.
Collusion includes, but not limited to, the conscious collaboration, without official approval, between two or more students, in the preparation and production of work which is then submitted as individual work. In cases where one (or more) student has copied from another, all students involved may be penalised.
Deceit includes misrepresentation or non-disclosure of relevant information, including the failure to disclose any cases of work being submitted for assessment which has been or will be used for other academic purposes.
Plagiarism is the act of using other people's words, images etc. as if they were your own.
Cheating is defined as any attempt to gain an unfair advantage in an assessment (including examinations), or assisting another student to do so.
It is in the best interests of all students for British Online Academy to maintain the good reputation of its awards. Your co-operation is expected in actively protecting the integrity of the assessment process.
