Academic Integrity: Students

• Plagiarism is representing the words, ideas, research, or data created by, or belonging to, someone else as if it were your own.
• Plagiarism may range from close imitation or paraphrasing the thoughts of another, to the submission of an entire Academic Work created by someone else.
• All forms of plagiarism share a common element: material is being presented as the Student’s original Academic Work, without acknowledgement, use of quotation marks, citations, or other references deemed appropriate by College staff.
• Plagiarism also includes submitting the same work for credit in more than one course.
• Students who want to submit work that was prepared for another course must first receive instructor permission.
