Summary of the table's contents

The Online Plagiarism Awareness Course is compulsory for all Doctoral students and should be completed by the ESA, but does NOT count towards the minimum attendance requirement.

If you are unsure how many credits the course you are registered to attend is worth, please check (http://www.imperial.ac.uk/study/pg/graduate-school/students/doctoral/professional-development/a-z-doctoral/) where course credits are listed under each course description.
