The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted by students, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on academic dishonesty. While “academic dishonesty” is the overall name, there are several sub-categories as follows:

      (i) Plagiarism

      (ii) Undeclared multiple submission

      (iii) Cheating in tests and examinations

      (iv) All other acts of academic dishonesty

Any related offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University.

Although detected cases of cheating in examinations or plagiarism are rare at the University, everyone should make himself/herself familiar with the content of this website and thereby help avoid any practice that would not be acceptable.
