The honesty of students in completing assessment tasks, exams, and tests underpins the integrity of the HSC. Dishonest behaviour carried out for the purpose of gaining unfair advantage in the assessment process undermines the standard of scholarship represented by the award of the HSC and constitutes malpractice.
Students are responsible for knowing and complying with NESA’s ACE Rules and policies regarding malpractice, including:
1. All My Own Work (or its equivalent), and
2. HSC Rules and Procedures Guide, and
3. HSC minimum standard: Malpractice and breaches of test rules, and
4. HSC practical exams.
NESA’s rules regarding malpractice must be read in conjunction with any course specific requirements outlined in NESA syllabus packages including Assessment and Reporting information.
