“VIOLATIONS OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Academic dishonesty includes but is not necessarily limited to the following…

Plagiarism

The unacknowledged, undocumented presentation of words or ideas which are the intellectual property of another as one’s own.

1. Direct quotation, that is, even a few of the exact words of a source, must be indicated by the use of quotation marks or indentation of the text and be properly documented.

2. Passages which parallel the thought or expression of the source, even without using the same words, must be properly documented.”
