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 expected to attend and actively engage in the scheduled classes and tutorials.
Required IT skills
Sufficient to operate Word files and make pdf files for the Visual Paper.

Additional information
Announcements
Announcements made during studios, seminars or lectures, or sent to your University of Canberra student email address, will be deemed to have been made to the whole group. Students are responsible for regularly checking their UC student email.
Consultation with Staff
Contact with staff should generally be within the allocated class times. Consultation outside of these hours shall be by prior appointment, and in addition to, not in lieu of, the scheduled class time. Students who fail to attend classes, and who do not have a medical or Counsellor's certificate or other genuine reason for missing classes, should not expect additional tutorial or consultation time.
Please note: staff are not able to return calls to long distance or mobile telephone numbers after normal hours or on weekends or holidays. Emails are normally not checked or answered at nights, on weekends or on public holidays.
Retained Work
Due to the requirements of professional accreditation samples of student work will be retained and stored at the School for periods of up to three years. Where possible, each student should make a copy of any assignment (prior to submission) as that work may be retained and inaccessible thereafter.
Lectures and Courtesy
All mobile phones are to be turned off during the class.
It is expected that you will be polite to lecturers, guests, and your fellow students. Certainly you should ask the questions, but do so with courtesy. Some lecturers will answer questions during a lecture, but others may prefer to respond at the end.
Students are expected to be considerate of fellow students' learning and avoid distracting them others during class. Laptop computers are to be used during class only where directly related to the lectures, tutorials or other formal class activity (this means no internet browsing, games, emailing, etc., during class).
Save your personal conversations until the breaks or after class. Do not talk, send text messages or play music on headphones during a lecture or video, as you will be disrupting other students' learning and you may be asked to leave.
