Academic Offences
describing the achieved level of performance against the
standards required, as a confirmation towards recognition of high
performance.
Academic offences, including plagiarism, are treated very
seriously by both BCA and UWL. A student who is proven to have
committed an academic offence may be placing his or her degree
in jeopardy. It is your responsibility as a student to make sure that
you understand what constitutes an academic offence, and in
particular, what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. Your work must
be written in your own words to demonstrate your understanding
of the material. It is not acceptable to copy sections of text from
other sources. The copying of another person’s work will result in
you receiving a zero for your assignment.
