Faculty Senate definition of Plagiarism:
“Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s word, ideas or data as one’s own. When a student submits work that includes the words, ideas, or data of others, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and specific references; and if verbatim statements are included, through quotation marks as well. In academically honest writing or speaking, the students will acknowledge the source whenever:
*Another person’s actual words are quoted
*Another person’s idea, opinion or theory is used, even if it is completely paraphrased in the student’s own words
*Facts, statistics, or other illustrative materials are borrowed, unless the information is common knowledge.”
Recycling one’s own work from another class is also considered plagiarism.
*Withdrawal form a Course: Students, if they choose to withdraw, need to drop a course before 60% of the course has elapsed. If they do not, there will be no “W” grade option at the end of the semester and students will be assigned an “F”. Faculty will not be allowed to assign a grade of W.
