Plagiarism is the intentional copying of the ideas or words of another and using those ideas or words as one’s own. Instructors may use anti-plagiarism programs to check student work. When outside sources are paraphrased or incorporated verbatim, they must be acknowledged. Students who submit plagiarized or partially plagiarized assignments will not receive credit for those assignments and may be subject to failure in the course. Instructors should attempt to resolve incidents of student plagiarism at the instructor-student level. However, if this is not possible, an instructor may lodge a complaint against a student following the appropriate complaint process published in the Catalog.
