It takes hard work, dedication and determination to achieve a degree from the University of Chester. Because of this, the University works hard to ensure that your efforts are properly recognised.
We make sure that employers and the public can have confidence that the qualification you are working towards is of the highest quality and accurately reflects the knowledge and skills you have gained during your time at the University.
Students have a vital role to play in safeguarding the value of the University’s awards by acting honestly, respectfully and fairly when being assessed. The central message of the University’s Academic Conduct Policy is that students should do nothing that has the potential to give them an unfair advantage over their classmates when being assessed.
The University will protect your interests by ensuring that any student found to have breached the Academic Conduct Policy doesn’t benefit from doing so, but we will always act fairly and proportionately. We look to provide support and guidance to help students and where students act in good faith, the University will look to give them opportunities to develop good academic practice before penalising them.
- Student guidance, along with a full copy of the University’s Academic Conduct Policy can be found on the University website.
- Additional student support and guidance relating to Academic Conduct can be found on Portal.
