In these Regulations, “plagiarism” means the unacknowledged use of the words, ideas or creations of another and includes situations where the student reuses without acknowledgement their own previously written text, ideas or creations when writing any new work. “Level 1 plagiarism” occurs where small quantities of the work are affected and/or the breaches are minor. It includes borderline situations, cosmetic or poor paraphrasing, negligent referencing or incorrect or missing citations. “Level 2 plagiarism” occurs where large quantities of the work are affected and/or the breaches are serious. It includes situations in which a significant amount of material is borrowed or directly quoted or cosmetically paraphrased with no attribution at all, or attribution insufficient to indicate that the borrowed material is not the work of the student.
