Academic Integrity Policy

The UPR 14 Appendix 3 on Academic Integrity (January 2021) is being updated to include university policy on Artificial Intelligence tools, this link will be updated when it is formally agreed. 

The UPR is based on the principles embodied in the Academic Integrity Charter (qaa.ac.uk) which the university has signed up to.

University guidance on text matching software

Canvas has a fully integrated version of Turnitin  so that both students and staff can see their originality reports. Some of the material in this folder refers to the use of individual Turnitin accounts which is still applicable for staff. Here, the term Studynet refers to the new Canvas VLE.

1. The University provides text matching software to students on taught programmes as one of a number of aids to improving their academic writing skills and to promote the concept of self-regulation.

2. Staff use the same tool provided to students in order to assist in the identification of plagiarised work submitted for summative assessment.

3. Students can only access the University’s preferred text matching software via StudyNet.

4. In all cases where an assignment is submitted on-line via StudyNet, and it is of an appropriate type and format, students will have an opportunity to submit each piece of coursework through the University’s preferred text matching software as a means of developing their academic writing.

5. All undergraduate and postgraduate taught students will normally have all appropriate types of summatively assessed coursework run through the University’s preferred text matching software as part of the marking process.

6. The University will support all staff who mark assessments in the use of the text matching software from time to time adopted by the University so that they are able to use the software effectively and that they are competent in the interpretation of reports.

7. All postgraduate research students will normally run their first formal progression report (defined in the Doctoral College Handbook) through the University’s preferred text matching software and thereafter be given the opportunity to run work of their choice through the software as a means of developing their academic writing.

8. Student /Programme Handbooks should notify students about the University’s text matching software and its use.
