Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.
Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.
UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).
UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.
Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
Participation requirements
Students are encouraged to attend face-to-face lectures on campus as part of the unit to maximise learning and engagement with teaching staff
and peers. On this basis, any announcements or information provided during lectures is deemed to have been made to all students enrolled in
the unit.
Attendance at practical classes is compulsory when associated with assessment items. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their
attendance at practical classes is recorded correctly and that they complete assessment items allocated to classes. Students are required to
attend and complete assessment items based on the practical class to which they have been allocated. Students must submit a completed
Variation to the Assessment form if they do not attend compulsory practical classes or fail to complete the assessment items.
Required IT skills
It is expected that students will possess UC entry-level IT skills. Students should be conversant with the use of the Canvas site (UC Learn), and
word processing, spreadsheets and presentation software.
