Collusion Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in whole or in part of unauthorized collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a “0” grade and NYC. Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office.
