If somebody has offered to sell you essays or assignments, or to sit your exam for a fee, then you have been targeted by a contract cheating service. They may also ask you to upload your previous course work so it is available to other students. 

These services are not legal in Australia and we encourage you to report any websites, emails, flyers, cards etc. that offer these services. 

JCU fosters environments that promote academic integrity, professional behaviour, and ethical standards. The Library's Referencing Guide has a section to help you recognise and avoid plagiarism.

If you need help planning and writing your assignment the Learning Centre is an excellent source of support and guidance. The library also created the Infoskills Toolkit to support you to develop the skills you need to complete your assessments successfully.
