What is Academic Misconduct?
Fabricating or falsifying information
Academic misconduct includes "fabrication or falsification of information or student identity" (University of South Australia, 2023, p. 3).
Tampering with academic records or any other official documents is an act of academic misconduct. This includes forging, changing, or adapting the details of documents, including medical certificates, and presenting them to staff.
- Ensure all documents submitted to the university are authentic.
