Version History

Edition 1: Melbourne Polytechnic Board – 12/12/2022 – This new policy supersedes the existing Student Academic Integrity (HE) Policy that previously only covered Higher Education students. It covers all students as well as Melbourne Polytechnic staff and employees of agencies and partner organisations involved in learning, teaching, scholarship and research. It also includes research integrity as a component of academic integrity. This new policy incorporates feedback from TEQSA in 2022 regarding Melbourne Polytechnic’s existing Academic Integrity (HE) Policy and academic integrity governance and management framework.
