GCA Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism in GCA Courses
GCA is a business unit of GAC Corporate Headquarters, and is responsible for competency-based assessment through its learning and development activities. Therefore, it has an obligation to all stakeholders in ensuring that certification/qualification of participants is a fair and accurate representation of their competency, skills and knowledge.
Plagiarism and other forms of cheating undermine the competency-based framework. If a participant receives a certification by unfair means it undervalues the qualification of others who achieve it on their own merit.
For these reasons, GCA has been tasked with ensuring appropriate measures are taken for assessing individual and team work projects, and to ensure the outcomes are their own original contribution.
The GAC Ethics Policy is the guiding framework for GCA's position of plagiarism, and considers individuals involved in either offering or receiving assessment tasks as equally accountable.
Copies of submissions for previous courses are retained, allowing easy detection of plagiarism. In cases where plagiarism is detected, a participant will be removed from the course, and the matter referred to the relevant Company Manager and Group Vice President, Human Resources.
GAC does not condone any form of plagiarism, as it is seen as a serious violation of the GAC Ethics Policy.
Plagiarism Guidelines
Plagiarism is a form of cheating; it is a practice that involves knowingly taking and using another person's work and claiming it (directly or indirectly) as one's own. This could constitute another participant's work within the current or previous courses, or content taken directly from the internet.
When quoting from another participant's work, quotation marks should be used and the original author acknowledged. For example:
In his post, John Smith said that "Cash Flow in GAC is the essence of good financial practice." I believe he is correct in this matter, because ultimately without money in the bank, we cannot move forward as a business.
When quoting from an external source, any answers based on researched work quoted in assignments need to be accompanied by a reference to the author / source from where it was obtained (inclusive but not limited to the internet, textbooks, interviews, etc.) This does not have to be in the rigorous form of University-style referencing – any way of acknowledging the source is fine. For example:
On the xyz site they define Lifelong Learning as … "…." Or. "Lifelong learning is …….." says xyz person or website.
It is unacceptable for an entire course assignment or forum post to be taken from another source. Discussing the topic in your own words and from your own experience is an essential part of every GCA course assignment.

GCA Late Submissions Policy
The following is the GCA Late Submissions Policy for facilitated eLearning courses.
An extension will be granted if a participant formally requests at least one business day before the end of the module and with a valid and verifiable reason. There will be a definitive yes or no provided by the course facilitator as to whether this is accepted. There will be a maximum of 7 days extension allowed.
The penalty for submissions later than the due date is 50% if no extension has been applied for, with the exception of verified emergencies (see below). Activities that are submitted AFTER the next module starts (ie a whole week late) will receive 0%.
If an extension is granted and there is no activity posted by the participant in the forum by the extension date given by the facilitator, then no points will be awarded unless a valid and verifiable reason can be given.
Participation history will be carefully checked before the facilitator will allow a second extension later in the course. Only two extensions will be allowed per course.
GLOs will validate a reason for a participant's extension request if necessary.
EMERGENCY CLAUSE: In the case of emergencies where the participant cannot ask for an extension beforehand ie. death of a family member and/or emergency flight, hospitalisation etc; an extension can be given if the participant intends to continue the course and/or will not be absent for more than 10 days.

GCA Escalation, Course Removal and Re-Enrolment Policy
The standard course escalation policy is as follows:
Where coursework has not been completed in the first half of the course week, a reminder email will be sent by the facilitator.
Participants who do not complete their coursework by the end of the course week will receive an email from the facilitator with the GLO and GCA in copy, highlighting the absence and seeking explanation.
Participants who have been absent from a course for ten days or more will be automatically removed, and the GLO and participant will be notified.
Participants who are removed from a course, or voluntarily remove themselves for any reason, are entitled to re-enrol in the same course at a later time.
The following is the GCA Re-Enrolment Policy for eLearning courses:
Course re-enrolment will be granted only if requested and approved by the participant's Line Manager.
GLO will validate the reason for the participant's withdrawal from the course and advise on re-enrolment.
A re-enrolment will be invoiced in line with the prevailing commercial arrangements.
