Fraud and Plagiarism

Fraud and plagiarism mean misrepresenting your own achievements, making fair assessment impossible. This includes cheating, plagiarism and fingering research data. If suspected, the teacher may suspect you of fraud. 

Generative Artificial Intelligence and Fraude

Students may use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) only if the lecturer indicates that this is allowed. In doubt about whether the use of GenAI is allowed in a course? If so, contact the relevant lecturer. You are never allowed to submit work developed by GenAI as your own. If this does happen, it will be seen as fraud.

Accused of fraud or plagiarism?

If fraud or plagiarism is suspected, a set procedure follows. Read in the brochure 'Accused of Plagiarism?' (in Dutch) how USG deals with this and what you can do.

If fraud or plagiarism is found, the examination board can impose sanctions. The strongest sanction the Board of Examiners can impose is to submit a request to the Executive Board to have a student expelled from the programme.
