Cheating
About cheating
Cheating or attempted cheating at exams can be transcripts or approximate transcripts of literature, internet documents, etc. without source references. Assignments that are very similarly worded are considered cheating, and it is also considered cheating if the assignment is plagiarism or it was obviously done by someone other than the student.
In the case of examinations where permitted support materials are limited, it is considered cheating to use anything other than what has been informed in advance/stated in the examtext.
Consequences of cheating
The consequence for students in the event of cheating/attempted cheating is annulment of exams and up to two years' exclusion from all higher education institutions, cf. Sections 12-4 and 14-1 of the Higher Education Act.
The grade result must be set to "fail" where there is documented cheating or attempted cheating. Decisions pursuant to this section are made by the board or the institution's board for student affairs, cf. Section 14-1 of the Higher Education Act.
