The integrity of the academic program and degree rests on the principle that the grades awarded to

perform the work specified by the instructor and are responsible for the content of work submitted,
such as papers, reports, examinations, and other work. Violations of academic integrity include
various types of plagiarism and cheating.
Plagiarism (including self-plagiarism):
Plagiarism is presenting the written, published or creative
work of another as the student’s own work. Whenever the student uses wording, arguments, data,
design, etc., belonging to someone else in a paper, report, oral presentation, or other assignment, the
student must make this fact explicitly clear by correctly citing the appropriate references or sources.
The student must fully indicate the extent to which any part or parts of the project are attributed to
others. The student must also provide citations for paraphrased materials. Plagiarism can result in
failure of the course or suspension from the college. See the college’s policies for more information.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about these issues.
