CHEATING & PLAGIARISM
HUANGA MĀORI
The University of Auckland regards cheating as a serious academic offence.
ng
e
Plagiarism is a form of cheating. In coursework assignments submitted for marking,
plagiarism can occur if you use the work and ideas of others without explicit
acknowledgment. Work can be plagiarised from many sources, including books, journal
articles, the internet, and other students’ assignments. A student’s assessed work may be
reviewed against electronic source material using computerised detection mechanisms. Upon
reasonable request, students may be required to provide an electronic version of their work
for computerised review.
ch
a
The way of avoiding plagiarism is to reference your work properly. If you are in doubt about
how to reference properly, ask someone – your lecturers, tutors and the Student Learning
Centre are good places to start. Please refer to the following website for further information
about academic referencing: www.cite.auckland.ac.nz/
The document Guidelines: Conduct of Coursework provides further advice on how to avoid
plagiarism. It can be found at: www.business.auckland.ac.nz/conductcoursework

The penalties for plagiarism can be severe, including losing some or all of the marks for the
assignment. Major offences can be sent to the University’s Discipline Committee, where
further penalties can be imposed.
