ARK is the University of Divinity’s online Learning Management System.

Each unit in which a student is enrolled has a corresponding page on ARK.

Most units will have two distinct files or versions on ARK: the parent, or “Meta” unit and the “Child unit”. Meta units allow students to access unit resources, such as further readings, power-points from lectures, etc. Child units are where students might participate in forums, ask questions to the lecturer, submit assessment tasks or view feedback for work that has been marked online.

Students are able to access their new units on ARK seven days prior to the unit’s commencement date.

A protocol of ARK is that students lose access to their completed units approximately a month after end of semester.

Information on Ark is available from:

• At the Orientation sessions where ARK Guide for Students (February 2021), which is updated each semester, will be presented. This will be made available at Reception, on the CTC website and the CTC Student Resources page on ARK.

Plagiarism is clearly defined in the University of Divinity Academic Integrity Policy, Section 5.3. Plagiarism is the use by one person of another person’s work as though it is the first person’s work without appropriate attribution. This includes (but is not limited to) the following circumstances:

1. submits work for assessment written wholly or in part by another person whether for payment or not
2. uses or paraphrases work from any source other than the person’s own work, including a book, journal, newspaper article, set of lecture notes, current or past student’s work or any other person’s work
3. when writing a computer program and presenting it as his or her own, incorporates the coding of a computer program written by another person
4. uses a musical composition or audio, visual, graphic or photographic work created by another person
5. uses realia created by another person, including an object, artefact, costume or model.

All work submitted for assessment must be the independent work of the person concerned. Students agree to a statement declaring the work as their own in the process of submission of each assessment item through Turnitin.

All written assignments are submitted through Turnitin via the ARK Learning Management System.

When lecturers or coordinators finds a high similarity score or recognise use of other sources and suspect a breach of Academic Integrity they email the Academic Dean with the Similarity Report and ask for this to be investigated.

Academic Dean investigates whether there is a breach.

If Yes, Academic Dean undertakes an assessment against criteria as to whether it is minor, moderate or major and follows the policy to assign assistance and penalties.

Academic Dean must send a report to University Secretary and advise lecturer/coordinator and student and student’s support person.

If No, Academic Dean informs the lecturer/coordinator and there is no further action
