Section 2
This section is to be used if a case is likely to be poor academic practice and an investigation is to be
undertaken on those grounds. Note that if an investigation is undertaken for poor academic practice,
Academic Misconduct cannot be found. If you are unsure of how to proceed, ASQO recommends that
you undertake an investigation for Academic Misconduct (detailed in Section 3), as you can still find
poor academic practice as an outcome.
