importance of staff and student honesty in relation to academic work. It outlines the kinds of
behaviours that are "academic misconduct", including plagiarism.

Procedures and Forms, late submission of assessments will lead automatically to the imposition of a
penalty. Penalties will be applied as soon as the deadline is reached.
