Dear DAP Students,
We are writing to let students know that we have become aware of services or individuals contacting students in our faculty, aggressively advertising academic work or assistance for hire. This includes services offering assessment help, or those promoting exam cheating services using a variety of technologies. We want to alert students so that you have the information you need to protect yourself and your academic future.
Risks of Contract Cheating Services
Many of these services have been known to resort to coercion, harassment, and blackmail (including threatening to report students to their institution unless they pay large amounts of money). Research also warns that once a student makes contact with one of these providers, even simply through an inquiry, the service retains their identity and contact details, placing students at ongoing risk of exploitation.
Hiring someone to complete your coursework is contract cheating, which is considered a serious form of academic misconduct. The academic consequences of using these services can result in a failing grade in a course, a formal notation on your academic record, suspension or expulsion.
What to Do If Approached
If you receive an unsolicited message, email, or contact via social media advertising these kinds of services, we encourage you to:
Please know that we are here to support your success — and that success means something when it’s earned.
