Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (including academic misconduct, plagiarism, or the improper use of artificial intelligence, unless such use is explicitly authorized in the course syllabus) that may result in a significant alteration of the assessment outcome will lead to a grade of 0 for that assessment. If the course syllabus specifies that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment is a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in the assessment activities of the same course, the student's final grade for the course will be 0. In addition, any student who commits such irregularities may be subject to disciplinary proceedings.
