PLAGIARISM
Students must submit their own works as assignments, and they cannot submit anybody’s ideas into their work as their own. Direct reference must be made for
every paragraph, even if it is only a summary of ideas from somewhere else. By using improper referencing Students commit plagiarism, i.e. submitting
somebody else’s work as their own, and face the possibility of immediate dismissal from DWC and all HCT colleges. Projects must only be submitted
electronically, and they must have a report attached to them from the SafeAssign plagiarism checking software.
 Please learn how to use SafeAssign, and printed projects are not accepted in the Business Department
 Presenting somebody else’s work as your own work is a serious academic offence and may results in immediate dismissal from DWC, HCT, and all
Federal Universities.
If you are unsure, please ask your teacher about plagiarism and correct academic referencing before submitting your work
