Summary of Changes from Previous Version

The purpose statement has been simplified and policy scope extended to include ex-student of the University.
Several definitions of academic integrity have been revised or added to reflect the current trends in academic misconduct and to remove duplication. These include the contract cheating definition aligned to TEQSA definition and a new definition of misconduct relating to the unauthorised use of artificial intelligence.
All exam related cheating have been grouped together and the submission of falsified documentation used to support academic consideration has been reclassified as Academic Fraud.
