“Plagiarism is the presentation by a student of an assignment identified as his or her own
work even though it has been copied in whole or in part from another student’s work, or
from any other source (e.g. published books, web-based materials or periodicals), without
due acknowledgement in the text.”
“Collusion is the presentation by a student of an assignment as his or her own work when
it is, in fact, the result (in whole or in part) of unauthorised collaboration with another
person or persons. Both the student presenting the assignment and the student(s) willingly
supplying unauthorised material are considered participants in the act of academic
misconduct.”
