Course Conduct Policy

Academic Honesty
Students are expected to uphold the standard of conduct for students relating to avoidance of
academic dishonesty. Academic Dishonesty is defined as an intentional act of deception in which a
student seeks to claim credit for the work or effort of another person or uses unauthorised materials
or fabricated information in any academic work.

Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit.
The guiding principle of academic integrity is that a student’s submitted work, examinations, reports,
and projects must be that student’s own work for individual assignments, and the group’s own work
for group assignments/ projects. Students are guilty of academic dishonesty if they:
Use or obtain unauthorised materials or assistance in any academic work; i.e. cheating.
Falsify or invent any information regarded as cheating by the instructor; i.e. fabrication.
Give unauthorised assistance to other students, i.e. assisting in dishonesty.
Represent the work of others as their own; i.e. plagiarism.
Modify, without instructor approval, an examination paper, record or report for the purpose of
obtaining additional credit; i.e. tampering.
The penalty for academic dishonesty is severe. Any student guilty of academic dishonesty may be
subject to receive a failing grade for the examination, assignment, quiz, or class participation exercise
as deemed appropriate by the instructor. In addition, the penalty could also imply that the student
receives a failing grade for the course and be reported to the PGP Chairperson and the Unfair Means
Committee (Refer Policies on “Use of Unfair means in Examination).
Students with Disability

GLBIMR is committed to promoting full participation for disabled students in all aspects of the
academic and social life of the Institute. We have initiated an ongoing process of reviewing and
developing our policy and practices for promoting full inclusion for students and staff with disabilities
and we consult regularly with them as part of this process. The main elements of our policy are listed
below:
Environment. We are committed to the systematic review and improvement of physical access
across all of our sites. Where physical or sensory barriers limit access to services, we will endeavour
to provide the service at a suitable alternative venue.
Access to facilities and support. Students with disabilities will have access to the same range of
support services as are available to their non-disabled peers. All facilities and equipment will be
made as accessible as possible.
Information for applicants, students and staff. All publicity, Program details, and general
information will be offered in accessible formats with sufficient time to allow for modification into
alternative formats where necessary, for familiarization by students or personal support workers,
and early application for support
