ARTICLE 4: COURSE DURATION AND FORMAT

The duration of the program is 8 semesters. The curriculum is structured across three main levels:

• Foundation Courses (Year 1): This level includes university-level general/common courses (e.g., General Psychology, Foundation of Sociology) and core disciplinary introductions (Foundation of Mass Communication, Principles and Practices of Journalism). These courses build the fundamental knowledge and broad perspectives necessary for advanced study.
• Intermediate Courses (Year 2 & 3): This level focuses on developing professional competencies. Students engage with a succession of major-specific courses that build skills in print media, broadcast production, and research methodologies. The courses are planned to be integrated; for example, writing skills are developed alongside visual design skills to build a holistic professional competence.
• Advanced Courses (Year 4): This level focuses on specialization and high-level application. Courses in media management, leadership, and digital convergence prepare students for leadership roles. The curriculum culminates in an advanced specialization pathway, allowing students to choose between a research-oriented thesis or an industry-oriented creative project/exit exam, thereby integrating and demonstrating their cumulative learning.

3 months of full-time or 6 months of part-time experiential learning (internship).

All students shall be required to study all courses and shall meet all the requirements to earn credits toward their degree.

Students who fail to meet the requirements of any course shall repeat the course.

Students are allowed to sit for the final examination only when their attendance satisfies the requirements in Article 12. If a candidate is found cheating in an examination, the exam paper will be considered invalid.

The RUPP’s academic office will announce the final score of each subject at the end of each semester. Students shall be responsible for tracking their scores and getting in touch with the Department if a supplementary exam is needed.

SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION

Students who fail the examination shall be allowed to re-sit once, but will only be scored 50 if passed. The supplementary Exam shall be conducted within one week after the final result is announced.

Students have to pay for the supplementary exam, which is 80,000 KHR per subject, to the DMC accountant. The DMC academic admin will arrange the supplementary exam only after receiving the payment receipt from the students.

DMC HOUSE RULES

ARTICLE 7: PROMOTION

Students must fulfill all academic and attendance requirements for promotion to the next academic year. To pass any course, a student must achieve a minimum score of 50%.

A student who fails a course in any semester is eligible to sit for a supplementary examination for that semester, provided they have fulfilled the attendance requirements. However, supplementary examinations are not offered for the exit examination of the fourth year; students who fail one or more courses in that examination must retake the examination in the following academic year.

If a student fails three or more courses in a single academic year after taking supplementary examinations, they must repeat that entire academic year. Students may repeat a full academic year only once at each year level.

All students are eligible to sit for all semester examinations. However, if a student fails to meet the attendance requirement for any course, their examination score will be invalidated, regardless of performance. The student must then repeat the course automatically and will not be eligible for a supplementary examination. In this case, both the attendance and score records for that course will be marked as ‘F’.

Foundation Year students will not be promoted to the second year if they fail one or more courses by failing the attendance or after taking the supplementary examination.

For Years 2 and 3, a student who fails fewer than three courses in a semester after supplementary examinations will be promoted to the next academic year. However, they are required to repeat only those specific failed courses.

Fourth-year students with any outstanding courses from Year 2 to Year 4, Semester 1, are not permitted to sit for the exit examination.

For more details, please see the RUPP Student Grievance Policy.

DMC HOUSE RULES

ARTICLE 9: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Plagiarism, fabrication, and other forms of academic dishonesty are serious academic crimes and are not tolerated. Plagiarism, fabrication or other forms of academic dishonesty in any form will result in a fail.

Unless explicitly permitted in writing by the course instructor for a specific assignment, submitting work (in whole or in part) created by generative AI tools as original work is considered a violation of academic integrity, equivalent to plagiarism or asking another person to complete your assignment.

For more details, please see the Academic Integrity Policy.

DMC HOUSE RULES

ARTICLE 10: GRADING SYSTEM

Examinations shall be marked by the examiners in charge. The following scale of marks shall apply:

DMC HOUSE RULES

ARTICLE 11: TRANSCRIPTS

Students’ final marks in all subjects shall be recorded.

Official transcripts shall not be issued unless students request them from the academic office of the Royal University of Phnom Penh and pay for the issuance.

DMC HOUSE RULES

ARTICLE 12: ATTENDANCE POLICIES

Leave request is divided into two. Leave Request: refers to a request for leave before a student takes it. Notification of Absence: refers to a leave request submitted after a student has taken it. The Notification of Absence is effective within 3 working days after the absence.

The approval of a one-day leave request is at each lecturer’s discretion. 2 days or more leave requests shall be approved by the Department Head. The approval is evidence-based.

Students shall attend each course at least 80% for the scholarship students, or 70% for the fee-paying students. The calculation of the percentage is based on the actual teaching sessions, not the total sessions allocated by the Department.

The Department enforces punctuality: arriving 15 minutes late or more counts as late, and three late arrivals equal one unapproved absence.

Students are not allowed to do any assignment as a substitute for failing to attend.

Students’ attendance at the make-up class is voluntary, and attendance shall not be counted.

Below is the calculation formula:

• 1 time (session) = 1.5 hours (or a three-hour class is equal to a two-session class)
• 1 session absence without leave = 5 % deduction

The calculation on long leave is therefore done as follows:

• Less than 1 week = 5% deduction
• More than 1 week but less than 2 weeks = 10% deduction
• More than 2 weeks but less than 3 weeks = 15% deduction
• More than 3 weeks but less than a month = 20% deduction
• More than a month but less than 6 weeks = 30% deduction

DMC HOUSE RULES

ARTICLE 13: INTERNSHIP

All students are required to complete an internship totaling a minimum of 480 hours at a media-related institution. This requirement must be fully completed no later than the end of Year 4, Semester 1.

The selection of the internship institution shall be determined by the students with the approval of the department.

Students must inform and get approval from the department regarding their internship institution at least two weeks before the official internship starting date. Failure to do so will cause the internship to be invalid.

To complete this requirement, students must provide their internship certificate and report, and the supervisor must submit an evaluation form. These steps are mandatory for graduation eligibility. The department maintains sole discretion over the final grade, which may be a Pass, Revision, or Fail.

For detailed information regarding specific procedures, exemptions for employed students, and report formats, students shall refer to the official Internship Policy or consult the person in charge.

FOR YEAR 2 & YEAR 3 STUDENTS

Students who wish to go on any exchange or long-term training program shall inform and get approval from the Department and the university’s International Relations Office.

Credits for exchange programs can be transferred only if there is an MoU between the two institutions, and if the courses to be taken satisfy the number of credits required and are relevant to the courses provided by the home Department.

For the institution without an MoU with the home Department, credit transfer is at the university’s discretion, and is in accordance with the rules and regulations of the university. The students shall get the final approval or equivalent from the International Relations Office of RUPP before applying or attending the exchange program.

Academic Integrity Policy

1. Preamble: Commitment to Academic Integrity

The Department of Media and Communication (DMC) is dedicated to creating an environment of academic honesty and ethical behavior while upholding the standards of the Royal University of Phnom Penh. Academic integrity is essential for intellectual work and professional conduct in media and communication. All students must produce original work, properly recognize the contributions of others, and maintain high standards of honesty in all academic activities. Violating academic integrity undermines the value of education and damages the credibility of both the student and the institution.

Academic Integrity Policy

2. Definitions of Academic Dishonesty (“Academic Sins”)

Academic dishonesty includes various actions that break the rules of academic integrity. These actions are serious offenses at the DMC and RUPP. Key forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to:

• Plagiarism: Presenting someone else’s words, ideas, data, code, or creative work as your own without proper acknowledgment or citation. This includes copying text, paraphrasing too closely without citation, submitting work done by others, or failing to properly attribute sources (using APA style or another approved format).
• Fabrication: Inventing or falsifying information, data, sources, or citations in any academic work.
• Cheating: Using or trying to use unauthorized materials, information, help, or study aids in any academic exercise (e.g., exams, quizzes, assignments). This includes looking at another student’s work, misusing electronic devices, or obtaining exam questions inappropriately.
• Collusion: Working with other students on assignments meant to be completed individually or helping another student commit an act of academic dishonesty without the instructor’s explicit permission.
• Misrepresentation: Wrongly representing oneself or one’s circumstances to gain an academic advantage (e.g., submitting the same work for multiple courses without permission, providing false reasons for extensions).

Academic Integrity Policy

3. Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)

Generative Artificial Intelligence tools (e.g., ChatGPT, DALL-E, Gemini, GitHub Copilot) offer both benefits and challenges for media and communication. Your time at DMC is a chance to learn how to use these tools ethically and effectively. However, misusing them can harm academic integrity and lessen your learning experience.

The following guidelines apply to using GenAI in DMC coursework:

• Default Policy: Unless your course instructor explicitly permits in writing for a specific assignment, submitting work (in whole or in part) created by generative AI tools as your own is a violation of academic integrity, similar to plagiarism or asking someone else to do your assignment.
• Permissible Uses (General Guidelines, Subject to Instructor Policy): Instructors may allow GenAI for certain purposes, such as brainstorming ideas, clarifying concepts, checking grammar/style (with caution), or creating initial outlines before you start your original writing and analysis. Using AI-powered web search or having “conversations” with AI tools to explore ideas is usually acceptable as part of the research process, much like consulting any background source. Using GenAI to draft routine, non-graded communications (e.g., emails) is typically fine.
• Mandatory Acknowledgment: If an instructor allows the use of GenAI for any part of an assignment, you MUST clearly acknowledge and document its use in your submission. This acknowledgment should explain:
  • Which tool(s) were used (e.g., ChatGPT 4.0, Midjourney).
  • What specific prompts were used (if applicable and feasible).
  • How the AI-generated output was used or integrated into your final work (e.g., “Used ChatGPT to brainstorm initial topic ideas,” “Used DALL-E to generate images based on the following prompts…”).
  If citing directly from an AI tool, use an appropriate citation format (e.g., APA guidelines for citing ChatGPT). Not acknowledging permitted use is considered academic dishonesty.
• Student Responsibility for Accuracy and Bias: GenAI tools can produce false information (“hallucinations”) and show biases from their training data. You should never treat AI-generated content as equal to peer-reviewed research or verified sources. You are ultimately responsible for the factual accuracy, originality, and ethical standing of all work you submit. Critically assess and verify any information provided by AI tools before including it in your work.
• Data Privacy and Intellectual Property: Be careful about uploading sensitive personal information or large parts of your original, unpublished work to public GenAI tools, as this content may be used for training or shared with others. Using GenAI may also affect the copyright of generated content.
• Prohibition on Uploading Course Materials: Students cannot upload significant course content (e.g., lecture notes, readings, videos, assignments) to public GenAI tools. Using university-approved, secure AI sandboxes, if available and permitted by the instructor, may be acceptable.
• Instructor’s Discretion: Individual instructors can set specific policies regarding GenAI use that differ from or add details to these general guidelines. These specific policies, stated in the course syllabus, take priority over this general policy for that course. If you are unsure whether a specific use of GenAI is allowed for an assignment, it is your responsibility to ask your instructor for clarification before using the tool.

Academic Integrity Policy

4. Penalties for Academic Dishonesty

Violations of academic integrity, including plagiarism, fabrication, cheating, collusion, misrepresentation, and the unauthorized or unacknowledged use of GenAI, are treated as serious offenses. As noted in Article 7 of the Student House Rules, any form of plagiarism or fabrication will lead to failure in the course.

Depending on the severity and specifics of the violation, penalties may include, but are not limited to:

• A failing grade (‘F’) for the specific assignment or exam.
• A failing grade (‘F’) for the entire course.
• Suspension from the University for a set period.
• Expulsion from the University.

All cases of academic dishonesty will be handled according to the procedures in the RUPP Student Handbook and relevant university regulations. Repeat offenses usually result in harsher penalties.

Academic Integrity Policy

5. Student Responsibility

Maintaining academic integrity is the responsibility of every student at the DMC. By submitting work, you confirm that it is your own original creation, made according to course requirements and the principles in this policy. Not knowing these rules does not excuse violations. If you are unsure about any aspect of academic integrity or proper citation, you should seek clarification from your instructors, the Head of Department, or use university resources on academic writing and ethics.
