Prospectus Undergraduate Biology Biological Sciences Postgrad prospectus Reminder about Plagiarism. The University takes an extremely serious view of these academic offences.
Penalties range from getting a mark of zero to termination of course.
If you have written a course essay on topic X we do not normally expect you to answer an examination question on the same subject. In a clear case of plagiarism, the policy of the Honours School is to ask for the work to be resubmitted within one week and that the mark attainable will be restricted according to the extent of the plagiarism. Records of such penalties and sanctions will be kept and particularly serious or repeated acts of plagiarism may be referred to the Science Faculty for disciplinary action. It resides on a server run by the School of Biological Sciences in the University of Southampton. All rights reserved.
