Cheating and plagiarism

Pursuant to the Higher Education Ordinance (Chapter 10, Section 1) disciplinary measures can be taken against students who ”use prohibited aids or other methods to attempt to deceive during examinations or other forms of assessment of study performance”. This means that the University has the right to suspend a student for a short or long period of time, and to notify the student finance organisation CSN, if the following rules are violated: If you quote from books, other students’ texts, internet texts and suchlike, you MUST always clearly state your source. It is NEVER permitted simply to copy other people’s texts and present them as your own writing! In the case of written exams, take-home exams and similar assignments, always follow the instructions provided concerning any authorised aids (usually none at all) and other information you get from invigilators and lecturers.
