Academic Integrity:
The information below is quoted at the Council of Writing Program Administrators at
http://www.wpacouncil.org/node/9 .In instructional settings, plagiarism is a multifaceted and ethically complex problem.
However, if any definition of plagiarism is to be helpful to administrators, faculty, and
students, it needs to be as simple and direct as possible within the context for which it is
intended.
Definition: In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses
someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge) material
without acknowledging its source.
This definition applies to texts published in print or on-line, to manuscripts, and to the
work of other student writers.
