7. SIMILARITY THRESHOLD, VIOLATIONS & PENALTIES, AND RECORDS

Similarity Threshold:
The faculty teaching the course will review the student work submitted together with the originality
report to determine if the work complies with the maximum similarity percentage for categories of
academic work as shown below:
Student Academic Work Item Similarity Threshold
Continuous Assessment (coursework, assignments, 20%

mini-projects, case studies, presentations, etc)
Major Assessments such as thesis, graduation project,
internship report, final project, or course work are used as the 15%
replacement for final exams
2
Violations & Penalties:
A) Where sources (similar text) are properly referenced:
1 If the similarity level for any submitted work is equal to or less than the acceptable
percentage of similarity shown in the table above, the mark will be recorded as assigned.
2 If the similarity level for any submitted work is over the acceptable percentage of
similarity shown in the table above by 5% or more (i.e., 25% or more for continuous
assessment or 20% or more for major assessments), the work will be rejected with no
possibility of revision, or second submission and the grade assigned and recorded for the
item will be zero (0).
3 If the similarity level for any submitted work is more than the acceptable percentage
of similarity shown in the table above by less than 5% (i.e., in the range 21%-25% for course
work and 16%-20% for major assessments), a penalty will be imposed as follows:
• First Offense (less than 5% over threshold): the grade assigned and recorded for the
item will be reduced by 25%.
• First Offense (more than 5% over threshold): the grade assigned and recorded for
the item will be zero (0).
• Repeat Offense(s) (over the threshold by any amount): the grade assigned and
recorded for the item will be zero (0).
B) Where sources (similar text) are NOT properly referenced:
4 If the manual check by the faculty member confirms the presence of work, sources,
or similar text that are not properly referenced, this will be considered plagiarism, deemed
an academic offense, and recorded in the student's file. In addition, the following penalties
will apply:
• Plagiarized work equal to or less than percentages in the table above will be
penalized by a mark of zero (0) for the item.
• Plagiarized work exceeding any of the percentages in the table above will be
penalized by an F grade in the course.
• Repeat offense(s) of plagiarized (unreferenced) work of any amount in the same
course will be penalized by an F grade.
• Repeat offense(s) of plagiarized (unreferenced) work of any amount in a subsequent
semester will be penalized by an F grade in all courses registered in the semester.
5 Assignments mentioned in D4 above where Turnitin/SafeAssign is not suitable for

checking for similarity (such as an assignment requiring programming code) have the same
acceptable similarity threshold levels as those in the table above. Therefore, the threshold
violations will be penalized following the same approach set out in 1 to 4 above.
3
6 Repeat offenses of excess similarity and all cases of plagiarism will also be referred
to the Academic Malpractice Mitigation & Appeals Panel, which may apply further sanctions
if deemed appropriate.
Honour Code Pledge: In case of not complying with the above, the student will be
penalized accordingly.
I confirm that I fully understand the above-mentioned pointes regarding the

Academic Integrity.
