I know someone currently enrolled in a CS Master's program. I forgot the term, but they have to spend an extra year taking undergrad classes, since their undergrad wasn't CS. Their friends do the vast majority of their homework and projects for them, and these assignments + open-book take-home quizzes/tests (that they also get help with) count for enough of their grade that they can tank the stuff that you can't cheat on and still pass all of their classes.
I hope that they'll be exposed once they get to post-grad next year, but I doubt it. I don't know anything about being a master's student, but I'm assuming they'll just have their hands held by professors, and get carried through everything by their fellow students. They won't even need to reach out to people outside of the program.
Anyways, now I know how people finish a CS degree without actually being able to code...
