Collusion — intentionally working in collaboration with others on an assignment intended to represent a single student's work; or, improving or editing another's completed work to the extent that the nature and quality of the original work is significantly altered.
You collude when you, without the authorization of your instructor:
- prepare and produce work with one or more people;
- allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task;
- allow someone else to write or edit your work (an exception is receiving assistance from academic support or student success);
- write or edit work for another student;
- offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.
