Academic Integrity
Students are expected to engage in learning and assessment at QUT with honesty, transparency and fairness. Maintaining academic integrity means upholding these principles and demonstrating valuable professional capabilities based on ethical foundations.
Failure to maintain academic integrity can take many forms. It includes cheating in examinations, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, and submitting an assessment item completed by another person (e.g. contract cheating). It can also include providing your assessment to another entity, such as to a person or website.
You are encouraged to make use of QUT’s learning support services, resources and tools to assure the academic integrity of your assessment. This includes the use of text matching software that may be available to assist with self-assessing your academic integrity as part of the assessment submission process.
Further details of QUT’s approach to academic integrity are outlined in the Academic integrity policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Breaching QUT’s Academic integrity policy is regarded as student misconduct and can lead to the imposition of penalties ranging from a grade reduction to exclusion from QUT.

Risk Assessment Statement
For risks associated with using campus buildings or facilities, refer to the Tier 1 General Health and Safety Induction.
Theatres are potentially dangerous places, particularly backstage during performances when low light conditions prevail. You will be warned by the stage manager, the production manager, or supervising staff member of any specific risks that you will need to be aware of when your project team first moves in to the venue or during class activities.
If you are aware of personal physical or emotional vulnerabilities you should inform teaching staff if you are feeling unsafe or at risk in any way. Every effort is made by staff at QUT to ensure that theatre students work in a safe environment. Conversely you are absolutely expected to follow all safety rules and directions, and to ensure that you do not put at risk the safety of others in any way.
