Academic misconduct procedure

How academic misconduct cases are investigated.

All forms of academic misconduct are regarded as an offence and are punishable under the University’s Code of Student Conduct. Suspected cases are investigated by  one of the University’s network of School and College Academic Misconduct Officers (SAMOS/CAMOS) who are responsible for the investigation at School or College level, and for determining appropriate penalties.
