Academic misconduct
VIT enforces that the integrity of its students’ academic studies follows an acceptable level of
excellence. VIT will adhere to its VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms, which explain the importance of
staff and student honesty about academic work. It outlines the behaviours that are "academic
misconduct", including plagiarism.
Late submissions
In cases where there are no accepted mitigating circumstances as determined through VIT Policies,
Procedures and Forms, late submission of assessments will lead automatically to the imposition of a
penalty. Penalties will be applied as soon as the deadline is reached.
Short extensions and special consideration
Special Consideration is a request for:
• Extensions of the due date for an assessment other than an examination (e.g. assignment
extension).
• Special Consideration (Special Consideration concerning a Completed assessment, including
an end-of-unit Examination).
Students wishing to request Special Consideration for an assessment the due date of which has not
yet passed must engage in written emails to the teaching team to Request Special Consideration as
early as possible and before the start time of the assessment due date, along with any accompanying
documents, such as medical certificates.
For more information, visit VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms.
Inclusive and equitable assessment
Reasonable adjustments in assessment methods will be made to accommodate students with a
documented disability or impairment. Contact the unit teaching team for more information.
Contract Cheating
Contract cheating usually involves the purchase of an assignment or piece of research from another
party. This may be facilitated by a fellow student or friend or purchased on a website. Other forms of
contract cheating include paying another person to sit an exam in the student's place.
