What is Academic Misconduct?

Falsifying or misrepresenting records

Academic misconduct includes "falsifying or misrepresenting academic records, or any other documents" (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.
