What is UCD Professional Academy's plagiarism policy?

UCD Professional Academy's submission system automatically flags and assigns a percentage to content which is similar to internet sources and assessments already submitted through its database or available online. 

Any sources or content which are not your own work should be clearly cited. Work containing unoriginal content which is not clearly acknowledged will fail if, in the judgment of the assessor, the amount of original work is insufficient to demonstrate achievement of the Learning Outcomes. For the avoidance of doubt, content produced by artificial intelligence, e.g., an AI chatbot, does not constitute your own work.

In courses where templates are provided, templates will be discounted.

Please note that all assignment work done as part of UCD Professional Academy courses needs to be original and specific to the particular course of study undertaken; assignments done previously for other courses (either at the PA or other institutions) cannot be re-submitted, even if they are the learners' own work.
