Plagiarism and collusion are academic offences.  They are forms of cheating and severe penalties are associated with them.  If a student is caught plagiarising they may be failed in that piece of assessment.
Plagiarism occurs when a student passes off as their own another student’s work, or copies without acknowledgment of its authorship, the work of any other person.
Collusion occurs when a student obtains the agreement of another person for a fraudulent purpose with the intent of obtaining an advantage in submitting an assignment or other work.
Whenever you refer to another person’s research or ideas (whether directly quoting or by paraphrasing them) you MUST acknowledge the source.  Also, copying paragraphs from web pages and presenting them as your own work is plagiarism.  If you download and copy paragraphs from a web page, you must identify the source.
La Trobe Melbourne will provide plagiarism detection software to assist both staff and students with the identification of instances where work intended for submission or actually submitted is inappropriately copied from another source either in whole or in part.
Refer to La Trobe University’s website for information on plagiarism and acknowledging source material:   http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/academic-integrity
 
Examination Misconduct
This may take various forms, for example:

• Bringing into an examination forbidden material (notes) or gaining access to such material during an examination (e.g. by communication via mobile phone with another person, planting material in a toilet, speaking or using hand gestures to communicate with others, etc).
• Copying from an adjacent student in a formal examination.
• Gaining knowledge of or revealing content of an examination in a circumstance in which a student has taken the examination earlier or later than the scheduled time.

Any form of misconduct in an exam will be treated as a serious offence and students will face severe penalties. Where the intent of the student is to cheat they will receive zero marks for their exam.
Should an examination invigilator suspect a student of engaging in examination misconduct, they shall normally allow the student to complete the examination. They will complete an incident report, attach any relevant evidence, and submit it to the Academic Director within 72 hours of the date of the exam. The Academic Director will notify the student of the alleged misconduct in writing via email and give the student an opportunity to submit their case. The student shall then be notified of the outcome in writing via email. Please note, some exams are open book.  If you see somebody using notes, this is not an invitation for you to also take out notes.  If an exam is an open book exam, it will be clearly stated on the front page.
 
Assignments must be submitted by the due date.  Students must complete the Assignment Cover Sheet available from the portal and attach it to their assignment. 
Check with your teacher for submission guidelines.  Assignments may be asked to be submitted via the portal or handed to your teacher in class.  Assignments are not accepted at reception.
Students must keep a copy of each assignment submitted and must be able to produce the copy in the unlikely event that the original assignment is misplaced.  Students must maintain backup copies of all their assignment work.  Electronic loss of data is possible, but is not a satisfactory excuse for an extension of a submission date.
Late Submission
Extension for medical reasons: 
If your work is late for medical reasons, you will need a medical certificate to cover you from the time the assignment was due until the time it is submitted. The medical certificate must accompany an application for special consideration. 
An extension of assignment submission for circumstances in the time leading up to the due date must be applied for in writing to your teacher at least 48 hours prior to the due date.
Penalties for late submission:
Assignments received late and without prior approval will be penalised.  A penalty of 5% of the available marks will be deducted every working day the assignment is late.  Assignments received after five working days, and without an approved extension, will receive 0%
Attendance is an important element of a student’s success in their studies and it is strongly recommended that attendance is maintained in all classes.  All work covered in class is examinable.  Poor attendance can lead to failure to progress academically.  Failing to progress may result in exclusion from study, and for international students, this may lead to cancellation of a student visa.
Attendance will be recorded in all sessions and Foundation Studies students need to be aware that if they fail to meet satisfactory attendance requirements, as set out by DIBP, they may be breaching their visa requirements.
For any given trimester, the expected attendance requirement is that all domestic and international students attend a minimum of 80 per cent of classes over the trimester. 
Students are expected to attend the full duration of each class.  However, students will be marked as present for a late arrival within the first hour of each scheduled class.  Thereafter, students will be marked as absent.
