Academic Support Systems – Limitation of Responsibility
SwissUK™ provides Academic Support Systems solely as a learning support and guidance service. These systems are designed to assist learners in understanding academic requirements, improving study skills, and preparing submissions in accordance with academic guidelines.
Academic Support Systems do not:
- complete assignments, examinations, projects, or any assessed work on behalf of learners;
- rewrite, edit, or alter academic content in a manner that interferes with the learner’s original work or academic authorship;
- intervene in academic assessment, marking, grading, moderation, or decision-making processes;
- communicate with awarding bodies, examiners, or partner universities on behalf of learners regarding academic outcomes.
All academic work submitted remains the sole responsibility of the learner, including content originality, academic integrity, compliance with assessment regulations, and adherence to plagiarism policies.
SwissUK™ and its Academic Support Systems do not guarantee:
- successful submission, passing grades, or academic outcomes;
- acceptance, approval, or recognition of assignments or qualifications by partner universities, awarding bodies, or third parties;
- exemption from academic misconduct, plagiarism findings, or disciplinary actions imposed by awarding or examining authorities.
Any English language, formatting, or plagiarism checks provided by Academic Support Systems are supportive and advisory only and do not replace the learner’s obligation to ensure full compliance with academic and institutional regulations.
SwissUK™ reserves the right to refuse or discontinue academic support services in cases of suspected academic dishonesty, misuse of support services, or violations of institutional policies.
