Draft for professional review
These policies have not yet been reviewed by a lawyer or a chartered accountant. They are published as drafts so that learners and parents can read them before launch.
Policy
Academic integrity
What counts as your own work, and what happens when it is not.
[01] The rule
Submitted work must be the applicant's own, and any external material used must be attributed in the repository and in the written submission.
Using a library, a tutorial, a code snippet or an AI assistant is permitted when the source is stated and when the result is understood by the applicant.
[02] Team work
Team projects are marked as team work and all members are named in the review log.
The final demonstration is individual. Each learner presents their own part of the project and answers for it.
[03] Consequences
Submitting work that is not the applicant's own ends the assessment for that task, with the reason recorded in writing.
A second case, or a case of forged evidence, ends enrolment in the programme.
Every outcome can be appealed in writing under the appeals process in the admissions and selection policy.
