Supporting students through academic misconduct allegations

For students, navigating allegations of academic misconduct can be overwhelming. To support students facing such allegations, TEQSA has published a new Student academic misconduct toolkit. This toolkit offers information and insights to help students understand the academic misconduct process and access the support they may need.

The toolkit, which is available through the Students menu of our website, provides:

• explanations of students’ rights and responsibilities  
• information about what is involved in the investigation process
• guidance on where, and how, to seek support.

To help students access the information they need quickly and easily, the toolkit includes videos, case studies, templates, a glossary of common terms and frequently asked questions.

Thank you to Dr Jasmine Thomas (University of Southern Queensland), Dr Glenda Hepplewhite (SAE University College), Dr James Adonopoulos (Kaplan Business School), Dr Jared Greenstreet (Macquarie University) and Dr Amy Milka (The University of Adelaide), who developed these resources on TEQSA’s behalf.
