Regarding Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a form of cheating or fraud; it occurs when a student misrepresents the
work of another as his or her own. Plagiarism may consist of using the ideas, sentences,
paragraphs, or the whole text of another without appropriate acknowledgment, but it also
includes employing or allowing another person to write or substantially alter work that a
student then submits as his or her own. Any assignment found to be plagiarized will be
given an "F" grade. All instances of plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of the
College, and may be reported to the University Judicial Affairs Officer for further action.
