Academic Integrity - Plagiarism

If you are unsure about what constitutes Academic Integrity after reading the information below you are always welcome to check with us before submitting. 

Plagiarismis a specific form of academic misconduct. We encourage and supportworking in groups and seeking help, however your final submission must always represent your individual work, opinions and recommendations. If plagiarism is found, all parties involved will be penalised.

You need to retain all your assignment computer files (Excel, Word etc.), which must remain unchanged after submission, for the purposes of checking, if required.

Plagiarism covers, but is not limited to, the following actions:

• Direct copying of the work of other persons, from one or more source, without clearly indicating the origin; Sending your files to another student for any reason whatsoever, even for the purposes of checking or comparing work; 
• Submitting another student's work in whole or in part; 
• Submitting work that has been written by someone else on the student's behalf; Copying computer files without clearly indicating their origin; 
• Submitting work that has been derived, in whole or in part, from another student's work by a process of mechanical transformation (e.g. changing variable names in computer files, paraphrasing); 
• A group-based effort to produce one assignment shared between individuals.

Working together is encouraged, however each written assignment submitted by each student must be written in its entirety by the individual student, including running analyses, producing Excel spread sheets other than the templates provided on the Course website and report writing.

Working together where one individual types the collective thoughts of a group/produces analyses and/or spread sheets and then shares these files will be investigated for plagiarism. 

All parties found to be involved in academic misconduct will incur, if appropriate, a penalty and a record in the University's Academic Integrity Database (UniSA Assessment and Procedures Manual 2025)
