Obtaining Unfair Advantage

It is any activity that intentionally or unintentionally gives a student an unfair advantage in his/her academic work over another student. The following are some examples of obtaining an unfair advantage, but by no means is it an exhaustive list:

  • Stealing, reproducing, circulating or otherwise gaining advance access to examination materials.
  • depriving other students of access to library materials, by stealing, destroying, defacing, or concealing them.
  • Retaining, using or circulating examination materials, which clearly indicate that they should be returned at the end of the exam.
  • Intentionally obstructing or interfering with another student’s work.
