Contract cheating is a “form of academic dishonesty where students get academic work completed on their behalf, which they then submit for academic credit [and/or advantage] as if they had created it themselves” (source: ContractCheating.com)

Examples of contract cheating include:

• purchasing an assignment from an online site
• obtaining assistance from someone else that goes beyond mere editing to writing of the assignment or solving of the problem
• participating in unauthorized discussion group or sharing answers to an assignment
• posting or purchasing answers to an exam, assignment, problem or any other assessed work
• paying someone to write a test or exam (Center for Academic Integrity, 2016)
