Programme Regulations

By registering in the AMPAP courses, you accept and understand the following:

ACADEMIC POLICY REGULATIONS (2011.03.14)

1. General

1.1 All courses include a formal learning evaluation process (i.e. individual and team assignments, and exam).

1.2 For mandatory courses, participants must achieve a final grade of at least 70% in order to pass the course. If a participant’s final grade falls below 70% but is 50% or more, he/she will have the opportunity to take a re-sit exam, the results of which will determine the final grade. If the final grade of the participant after the re-sit exam is less than 70%, he/she will be required to redo the course completely.

1.3 A participant may be deemed to have desisted if he/she is not present at the start of the course for which he/she has registered and could be disallowed to enter the group after a course has begun. The participant will be required to re-register for another scheduled delivery at a later date.

1.4 At any given course, the participant is required to attend in full. Late arrivals or early departures are strictly disallowed.

1.5 It is the responsibility of the participant to take all necessary measures to overcome any special circumstances that may cause lateness or obstruction to his/her performance. This applies to both face-to-face and online courses. It is the responsibility of the participant to inform the Course Leader or Registrar of any such circumstances that may arise failing which he/she will be considered to have withdrawn and failed the course.

2. Academic Integrity

2.1. Any form of cheating, plagiarism, impersonation, falsification of a document as well as any other form of dishonest behaviour for the obtainment of academic gain or the avoidance of evaluative exercises committed by a participant is an academic offence.

2.2. Without limiting the generality of the paragraph above, academic offences include, but are not restricted to, the carrying out or attempting to carry out or participating in:

a. impersonation — assuming the identity of another person or having another person assume one’s own identity;
b. plagiarism — the presentation of the work of another person as one’s own or without proper acknowledgement;
c. the contribution by one participant to another participant of work with the knowledge that the latter may submit the work in part or in whole as his or her own;
d. the obtainment by theft or any other means of the questions or answers of an examination or of any other related resource that one is not authorized to possess;
e. the use of another person’s examination during an examination;
f. communication with anyone other than an invigilator during an examination or the use of any non-authorized assistance during an examination.

2.3. Any participant committing any of the offences listed above will be expelled from AMPAP, will not be reimbursed, in whole or in part, and will not be allowed to reapply.
