Academic Integrity
Holmes Institute is committed to ensuring and upholding Academic Integrity, as Academic Integrity is integral
to maintaining academic quality and the reputation of Holmes’ graduates. Accordingly, all assessment tasks
need to comply with academic integrity guidelines. Table 1 identifies the six categories of Academic Integrity
breaches. If you have any questions about Academic Integrity issues related to your assessment tasks, please
consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing guidelines and support resources. Many of these resources
can also be found through the Study Sills link on Blackboard.
Academic Integrity breaches are a serious offence punishable by penalties that may range from deduction of
marks, failure of the assessment task or unit involved, suspension of course enrolment, or cancellation of course
enrolment.

Holmes has been implementing as a pilot program using a revised/adapted Harvard approach to
referencing. The following guidelines apply:
• Reference sources in assignments are limited to sources which provide full text access to the source’s
content for lecturers and markers.
• The Reference list should be located on a separate page at the end of the essay and titled: References.
• It should include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged alphabetically A-Z by author
surname. In addition, it MUST include a hyperlink to the full text of the cited reference source.
For example;
P Hawking, B McCarthy, A Stein (2004), Second Wave ERP Education, Journal of Information
Systems Education, Fall, http://jise.org/Volume15/n3/JISEv15n3p327.pdf
• All assignments will require additional in-text reference details, which will consist of the surname of the
author/authors or name of the authoring body, year of publication, page number of content, paragraph
where the content can be found.
For example;
“The company decided to implement a enterprise wide data warehouse business intelligence strategies
(Hawking et al, 2004, p3(4)).”
Non-Adherence to Referencing Guidelines
Where students do not follow the above guidelines:
1. Students who submit assignments which do not comply with the referencing guidelines will receive
a 10% penalty.
2. Students who submit assignments in which the citations are “fake” will be reported for academic
misconduct.

and Submission of SafeAssign. Submission deadlines are strictly enforced and a late
submission incurs penalties.
• DO NOT SHARE YOUR ASSIGNMENT WITH OTHER STUDENTS under no
circumstances even after the deadline and after you submitted it in the Blackboard or
even after you have marked. If there will be any similarity detected by SafeAssign or
the marker, it is an academic misconduct case and BOTH of the students will not be
marked and reported to the institution for further investigation.
• Your document should be a single word or OpenOffice document containing your
report.
• All submissions will be submitted through the safeAssign facility in Blackboard.
Submission boxes linked to SafeAssign will be set up in the Units Blackboard Shell.
Assignments not submitted through these submission links will not be considered.
• Submissions must be made by the due date and time (which will be in the session
detailed above) and determined by your Unit coordinator. Submissions made after
the due date and time will be penalized per day late (including weekend days)
according to Holmes Institute policies.
• The SafeAssign similarity score will be used in determining the level, if any, of
HI5029 IS Project Management 6
plagiarism. SafeAssign will check conference web-sites, Journal articles, the Web
and your own class members submissions for plagiarism. You can see your
SafeAssign similarity score (or match) when you submit your assignment to the
appropriate drop-box. If this is a concern you will have a chance to change your
assignment and resubmit. However, resubmission is only allowed prior to the
submission due date and time. After the due date and time have elapsed your
assignment will be graded as late. Submitted assignments that indicate a high level
of plagiarism will be penalized according to the Holmes Academic Misconduct
policy, there will be no exceptions. Thus, plan early and submit early to take
advantage of the resubmission feature. You can make multiple submissions, but
please remember we grade only the last submission, and the date and time you
