Submission Instructions:
Appendix A: Plagiarism and Collusion
Students are referred to the College’s policy of Plagiarism and Collusion, as detailed during interview and induction and as included in the Students’ Handbook.Students are reminded that persistent offences in this area will result in the student’s termination
Any act of plagiarism and/or collusion will be seriously dealt with according to the regulations. In this context the definition and scope of plagiarism are presented below:
“Using the work of others without acknowledging the source of the information or inspiration. Even if the words are changed or sentences are put in different order, the result is still plagiarism”. (Cortell, 2003)
Collusion is the submission of work/assignments produced in collaboration with another student or students. Where one person shares his/her work with others who submit part or all of it as their own work, then the incidence of collusion is established.
Collusion does not apply to group work, but only amongst members of the same group – two separate groups, using the same content, or partial content, will count as collusion.
