Handling of fraud cases

If a stu­dent com­mits or as­sists in a frau­du­lent pro­ce­du­re or at­temp­ted fraud in a par­ti­al per­for­man­ce re­la­ted to a cour­se, stu­dent’s per­for­man­ce will be re­jec­ted and the stu­dent may have to re­ta­ke the cour­se in qu­es­ti­on. The prin­ci­pal and the te­ac­her of the stu­dy cour­se in qu­es­ti­on ag­ree on pro­ce­du­res on a case-by-case ba­sis.

In the IB line, the sec­ti­on cor­res­pon­ding to the cour­se comp­le­ti­on is re­jec­ted and must be ta­ken again or the sec­ti­on in qu­es­ti­on (e.g. in IA) is comp­le­te­ly ig­no­red.

The same pro­ce­du­re is fol­lo­wed if any per­for­man­ce re­la­ted to the stu­dy cour­se, which is eva­lu­a­ted and af­fects the gra­de of the stu­dy unit, turns out to be pla­gi­a­rism.

Fraud ca­ses are hand­led bet­ween the prin­ci­pal, the te­ac­her of the stu­dy cour­se in qu­es­ti­on and the stu­dent con­cer­ned. A me­mo­ran­dum is drawn up about this si­tu­a­ti­on, which is sig­ned by the par­ties in­vol­ved.

Fraud is al­ways re­por­ted to the stu­dent’s gu­ar­di­an.
