Academic Misconduct Penalties
When a student is found guilty of academic misconduct (cheating), the penalties are severes
- The assignment will be awarded a fail grade, with zero credit.
- Penalties may extend beyond the single assignment, and may affect the module grade, and even the classification of the final award.
- The academic misconduct will be mentioned in any reference given by the university. This means that graduates will find it very difficult to enter careers that involve trust, including Accountancy, Law, Computer Systems Administration, and Computer Security.

The normal penalties for a first offence are as below. Penalties for later offences (of any nature) are escalated, and the ultimate penalty is exclusion from the university. The list of offences below is not exhaustive.
