Summary of Changes from Previous Version

Clauses 32 and 33 require allegations of cheating in an examination to be referred straight to the Head of School by the Unit Coordinator, without the need for the Unit Coordinator to investigate and meet with the student. This is a change of policy.

Clauses 34 and 96 have been amended to remove inconsistencies and to clarify procedures.

Clause 36 reinstates the option (present in the pre November 2009 version) of requiring a student to re-submit an assessment item.

Clause 45 clarifies the penalties that a Head of School may impose following a meeting with the student.

Clauses 26 and 37, arrangements for waiving a finding of academic misconduct, have been aligned.

Clause 69 clarifies who the Chair of the College Academic Standards and Integrity Committee is.

The inconsistent use of the terms 'interview' or 'meeting', when referring to meetings between academic staff and the student, have been made consistent by changing all instances to 'meeting'.

All correspondence to a student is to be sent to the student's contact address held by the University, and this clarification has been made throughout the Policy.
