Plagiarism and Collusion
When producing the assignments, Learners must not copy any material whole or part from fellow students intentionally or unintentionally. Any materials including phrases, paragraphs, diagrams, tables, charts or graphics copied from books, journals, web sites or any other sources must be properly referenced according to the Harvard referencing system. Even if the words are changed or altered learners must clearly reference the source. However learners must not include contents from other sources for over 25% of overall assignment, therefore learners are required to produce a ¡¥Turn-it-in¡¦ originality report for any coursework, essays submitted for assessment. Any assignments submitted without a ¡¥Turn-it-in¡¦ report will be refused and returned without marking.
Collusion: Unless stated otherwise, you must not produce assignments in collaboration with fellow students where the assessment is based on the individual work. Such material will be refused by the assessor and you will receive no mark. You must not share your individual assignments with fellow students and in an event both lender and the receiver will be disqualified for the assessment.
Plagiarism and Collusion is seriously dealt with according to the regulations at Regent College and any learner who fails to produce an original piece of work may disqualify of taking the assessment and may have to repeat the unit.
Extension and Late Submission
If you require an extension you must produce a valid reason with evidence. You must request extension using a coursework extension request form available from the college. Please note that the lecturers do not have the authority to extend the coursework deadlines and therefore do not ask them to award a coursework extension. The completed form must be accompanied by evidence such as a medical certificate in the event of you being sick.
Late submission will only receive a pass mark unless you provide a valid reason for the late submission with evidence. However the assessor has the right to refuse your assignment if you submit after the deadline unless you provide a valid reason for the late submission with evidence.
Any late submissions must accompany a completed Late Submission form with the evidence such as a medical certificate in the event of you being sick.
