34.1Identification of poor academic practice and academic misconduct
City reserves the right to use technology to detect and/or follow up cases of suspected academic misconduct. This may be used:
for a whole Module cohort, normally at the submission of work stage, where Programmes use technology for this purpose
as part of a Preliminary Investigation for specific individuals or groups of students where academic misconduct is suspected.
A member of staff who suspects academic misconduct has been committed should first follow the Preliminary Investigation procedure set out below (see Section 5.7.2).
The student will not be considered as being guilty of poor academic practice and/or academic misconduct until the matter has been investigated and the outcome determined in accordance with this Regulation and the Academic Misconduct Policy and Guidance (see Assessment policies).
Where academic misconduct is suspected or discovered during an invigilated examination, the invigilator in charge will take such immediate action as they consider necessary and will then follow the documented procedures set out in Regulation 11 Conduct of Examinations.
