Plagiarism
The Pink Room International Nail Academy seeks to encourage the maintenance of the highest levels of academic integrity. Acts of cheating and plagiarism will be regarded as serious offences.
Academic malpractice includes plagiarism, to take and use another person’s thoughts, writing etc. and to present as one’s own. Plagiarism includes such acts as not detailing any or all relevant information concerning a published (or any form of information dissemination) author’s work as well as using the work of a fellow student or students from the same course/module.
While it is acceptable to discuss and share ideas, these ideas should be applied to the problem/assignment etc. by yourself to create your own work or design.
Substantiated plagiarism or cheating in a formative assessment will result in at least the loss of all marks in that component of the module and possible exclusion from the course.
Where cheating is found for an element of the assessment for a module then that element of the assessment may be marked down or failed. There could be four outcomes:
- If the student is marked down then this will be on the basis of marking the achievement taking into account the knowledge and skills displayed and discounting any possible unfair advantage.
- If the student failed in the assessment then the student will have to undertake a further assessment (as a first resit) for that element where the highest mark achievable will be a minimum pass mark. The required second assessment does not have to be in the same format as the first.
- It may also be considered that the student will not be allowed to be passed on that module even though the aggregate mark taking into account a failed element could be a pass. If a student fails a module as a result of this penalty then the module will have to be retaken in the normal way. Penalties cannot be applied to the new course.
- In extreme cases the student may be denied the opportunity for any resit which would then result in failure of the module. If a student fails a module as a result of this penalty then the module will have to be retaken in the normal way. Penalties cannot be applied to the new course.
Student Data Confidentiality
Students are required to notify the School in any changes in your personal particulars (address, email address, telephone numbers etc.) as soon as possible by filling in the Change of Personal Details Form.
Failure to notify the School of such changes could result in important correspondence(s) not reaching the student. The School does not accept any responsibility for any communication that fails to reach a student who has not informed the School of a change in contact details.
Student data will be kept confidential only for the School's record. The School will consult the student in case which his/her personal details are required for official submission/disclosure to external organisations.
Keeping Students Informed of Change in Ownership or Management
The Pink Room International Nail Academy will inform all of our students of any change in our ownership or management within 14 days of such a change.
Important Please refer to The Pink Room International Nail Academy's Student Handbook and Standard PEI-Student Contract for the official set of School policies.
