Websites blocked to protect students and academic integrity

TEQSA continues to disrupt predatory academic cheating services, by blocking their websites in Australia.

TEQSA has blocked another 60 commercial academic cheating websites, disrupting the operations of these illegal services which target students in Australia.

This recent action brings the total number of websites blocked, under protocols with major internet service providers (ISPs), to 475. A list of the blocked illegal cheating websites is available at teqsa.gov.au.

Academic cheating services allow students to pay someone to complete assessments for them. This undermines the student’s learning and the trust in the qualification they receive. Further, using these services leaves the student vulnerable to blackmail and identity theft.

Blocking illegal academic cheating service websites is part of TEQSA’s multi-pronged approach to protecting the integrity of higher education awards.

TEQSA has numerous resources available to support higher education students, academics and professional staff. These resources include:
