Statement of Student Responsibility

When submitting assignments via the LMS, it is no longer a University requirement that students also submit a hard copy Statement of Authorship.

Instead, the following announcement will appear regularly when students log in to the LMS:

STATEMENT OF STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

the work is your own work or the work of the group;

except where clearly stated, the material has not been used elsewhere or presented for examination in any other course or subject at this or any other institution.
