Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005)

For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.

Academic Integrity in Assessment Units

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and all sources used must be correctly referenced, including artificial intelligence tools.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:

  • Plagiarism: Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without correct referencing.
  • Fabrication: Including references or content that does not exist.
  • Falsification: Including misleading information, such as using citations to support unrelated information.
  • Unauthorised collaboration (collusion): Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work when an individual submission was required. This includes sharing your work with others for them to copy.
  • Contract cheating: Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit an assignment.
  • Cheating in exams: Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.

Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including a suspension or an expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.

ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.

All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
