STUDENT DECLARATION
THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA. COLLEGE OF EDUCATION.
DEPARTMENT OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTIONAL STUDIES
Should be completed and submitted by ALL STUDENTS
The Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies places specific emphasis on integrity and
ethical behaviour in the preparation of all written work to be submitted for academic evaluation.
Although academic personnel will provide you with information regarding reference techniques and
ways to avoid plagiarism, you also have a responsibility to fulfill in this regard. Should you, at any
time, feel unsure about the requirements, you must consult the lecturer concerned before you submit
any written work.
You are guilty of plagiarism when you extract information from a book, article, or web page without
acknowledging the source and presenting it as your work. In truth, you are stealing someone else’s
property. This does not only apply to cases where you quote a source verbatim, but also applies to
when you present someone else’s work in a somewhat amended format (paraphrase), or even when
you use another student’s previous work.
Students who are found guilty of plagiarism will forfeit all credit for the work in question.
Additionally, the matter will also be referred to the Disciplinary Committee for a ruling. Plagiarism
is considered a serious violation of the University’s regulations and may lead to suspension from the
University. For the period that you are a student at the Department of Curriculum and Instructional
Studies, the under-mentioned declaration must accompany all written work that is submitted. No
written work will be accepted unless the declaration has been completed and attached.
