Make sure you understand your responsibilities in upholding your academic integrity at Charles Sturt University. We also offer support services to help you meet these obligations.

Contract cheating is when a student pays to have someone else complete an assessment for them and passes the work off as their own. This poses additional threats.
In addition to being a form of academic misconduct, some contract cheating companies will use your personal information to blackmail you into making further payments after you use their services.
