Academic Regulations
The basic philosophy of Charles Sturt University is that students are mature individuals capable of assuming some responsibility for management of their study programs. It is, therefore, each students responsibility to be acquainted with and comply with relevant academic regulations. Basically, the University does not monitor such compliance other than to advise students when they have not followed the appropriate regulations. If you are having difficulties through illness or personal problems you are strongly urged to read these regulations and policies in their entirety, especially Academic Progress and Assessment Regulations. Some of the more important regulations are: Special Consideration Grade Pending Leave of Absence Withdrawal from Subjects AA and AE grades Enrolment Variation Examination Regulations Review of a Final Grade Exclusion Student Academic Misconduct Regulations. If you are still unsure of the procedures to follow use the Student Central Knowledge Base to search for articles on these regulations or contact Student Central directly. www.csu.edu.au/student/central/ The Academic Regulations are available online: www.csu.edu.au/acad_sec/regulations.htm www.csu.edu.au/acad_sec/academic-manual/icontm.htm www.csu.edu.au/adminman/stu/student.htm
Avoiding Plagiarism
Charles Sturt University expects that the work of its students and staff will uphold the values of academic honesty and integrity. This Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism can be found at the website below, and is an important resource that will help you understand these values and apply them in practice. All scholarly and professional work involves researching, understanding and building on the work of others. Honesty and integrity demand that we recognise and acknowledge that work. In this guide you will find advice and support to enable you to do this properly and well. Plagiarism is contrary to the values of academic integrity and honesty. The practice of plagiarism within the University could undermine the University's reputation and also that of students and staff who have acted with integrity and honesty. It is important that we all take our share of responsibility for maintaining the best standards and values in the work of our University. http://student.csu.edu.au/study/plagiarism

Allow you to plan your future session enrolment and facilitate an easy discussion of that plan with your Course Advisor.
