ASSESSMENT SUBMISSIONS – PLAGIARISM

You should not attempt to pass off work of another person as your own.
It should be possible for a reader to check the information and ideas which you have used by referring to the original source material. In which regard, you must make note and acknowledge material or content from a third party source, of any nature, used by you and that notation should be sufficiently accurate to enable the source to be easily located and checked.

If you are unsure whether to, or how to make an acknowledgement, then please ask your Trainer & Assessor. In the event that plagiarism is discovered then the offending assessment involved will be deemed as being “not competent” and penalties may apply. These can include formal counselling, a verbal and written warning and/or removal from the course. You will be instructed to resubmit a completed and compliant assessment task should you not be removed from the course.

Each training package sets a minimum requirement in language, literacy and numeracy skills of participants, with which JSW must abide.

JSW makes appropriate concessions for language, literacy and numeracy issues of students where these concessions do not compromise the requirements of the relevant Training Package and the integrity, equity and fairness of assessment.

All training and assessment is conducted in English. All JSW Trainers & Assessors are trained in supporting the LLN needs of students.

Each unit of competency that you study has its own census date, this date is determined as 20% of your unit of competency delivery.

If you choose to withdraw you must withdraw officially by close of business on the census date (or before) using the Enrolment Adjustment Form (located on the website).

Your census date for each unit of competency is indicated on your statement of fees.

It is your responsibility to check if you still owe fees even if you withdraw.

Note: If students do not officially withdraw, within the limits as previously explained, they will still be liable for full payment of any outstanding fees.

 

JSW staff can provide support to students in regards to time management, coping with learning difficulties and stress management in relation to your training needs.

We’ll help you stay on target!
