academic honesty
Page last updated:
Academic honesty is a fundamental principle at Leeds Beckett University and is strongly linked to good academic practice. Our university promotes academic honesty and educates students about good academic practice.Â
There are a range of resources to help you develop good academic practice throughout your time at Leeds Beckett University and avoid plagiarism and other issues. These include the Leeds Beckett University Academic Honesty Tutorial and our Quote, Unquote guide to referencing. Additional resources to support you with academic honesty and good academic practice are available on the Skills for Learning website.
Section 10 of our Academic Regulations (Academic Honesty) outlines the general principles of academic honesty, as well as the provisions for dealing with any breach of the Academic Honesty Regulations, i.e. academic dishonesty.
Academic dishonesty includes plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating in an examination and use of generative artificial intelligence tools to gain an unfair advantage.
Academic dishonesty is potentially serious. We will investigate students who are suspected to have fallen short of good academic practice and can apply a range of penalties depending on the nature of the academic dishonesty.
Generative Artificial Intelligence
Rapid developments in the use of generative AI pose challenges, particularly in relation to the integrity of assessment. However, generative AI also provides opportunities when used appropriately, ethically and responsibly.
The library provides guidance to students about how they can use generative AI responsibly. You can also find specific information about the use of artificial intelligence in assessment in Section 3 of the Academic Honesty Tutorial.
