1. Purpose

To maintain academic integrity, this policy outlines the prohibition of AI generated content and plagiarism in assessments. Our goal is to ensure that all work submitted by students reflects their personal understanding, effort and original thoughts.

2. Prohibited Conduct

Students are strictly prohibited from: a) Using AI tools to generate any part of their assessment submissions. This includes but is not limited to text, ideas, or structures created by AI. b) Engaging in any form of plagiarism, including but not limited to:

​​

• Copying text, ideas, or work from any source without proper attribution

• ​Paraphrasing or summarising someone else's work without acknowledgement

• Submitting work that has been completed by another person

• Self-plagiarism (reusing one's own previously submitted work without acknowledgement)

3. Detection and Verification

All submitted assessments will be checked for AI generated content and plagiarism using appropriate detection tools. Any assessment flagged for potential AI involvement or plagiarism will undergo further review by our academic staff. The ISCP reserves the right to choose the detection tools used.

4. Warning and Disciplinary Process 
 

• First Offence: The student will receive notification from their tutor that their work has been flagged as unacceptable due to AI generated content or plagiarism. The submitted assessment will not be accepted. The student will be required to resubmit the work using original content with proper citations where necessary.

• Second Offence: The student will receive a second warning from their tutor. The resubmission of the assessment will be required.

• Third Offence: The student will face expulsion from the course and the balance of any course fees will become immediately due in full with The ISCP reserving the right to take legal action to recover the funds if necessary.

 

The final decision rests with the Director of Studies and is not subject to further review. For more information, email secretary@theiscp.com.
