Academic Integrity
The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against online source material using computerised detection mechanisms.
The online Academic Integrity module must be completed as part of the Certificate in Health Sciences programme. If you do not complete the Academic Integrity module in semester 1, you must complete this online module in semester 2.
