PREAMBLE

Academic integrity is a fundamental university value and through honest completion of academic work, students sustain the integrity of the university while facilitating the university’s imperative process of transmitting knowledge based upon the generation of novel ideas. When academic dis-integrity by a staff or student occurs, it brings dishonor to the University. This then requires a critically focused process that provides guidance in resolving the allegations in accordance with laid down procedures. The procedures assume that many matters of academic dis-integrity will be resolved through consultation between the student and the faculty and the dispute custodial units of the University. This policy details by general category possible acts that may render academic practices unethical and, therefore, objectionable. All University students and faculty will abide by the University’s Academic Integrity Policy regardless of the programme or Campus where the student is enrolled. All Campuses and Colleges at the University will use and enforce this policy.
