All students must familiarize themselves with theUniversity policy on Academic Integrity.Regardless of the medium in which they are submitted, the University expects that allassignments, research projects, lab reports, papers, theses, dissertations, examinations and anyother work submitted for academic credit will be the result of the student’s own intellectual efforts.Similarly, work submitted for a course or for any other academic purpose is expected to havebeen generated specifically for that course and that course only. For collaborative work,obviously, the cohort’s or group’s efforts are expected.Plagiarism can take several forms: generally, it is the practice of taking someone else’s work orideas and passing them off as one’s own.1 This use may be either intentional or unintentional.NOTE: It is incumbent upon the student to be able to properly cite the private intellectual propertyutilized as research sources in their papers. For assistance, please see:http://library.sullivan.edu/info literacy/worksheets/2011/Group A/Handouts/Plagiarism Handout.pdforhttp://library.sullivan.edu/info literacy/worksheets/2011/Group A/Assignments/Plagiarism Assignment.pdfConsequently, unintentional plagiarism is still plagiarism. Students should be aware that allSullivan University professors have access to anti-plagiarism software. Therefore, studentsshould discuss any potential plagiarism issues with their instructors before submitting their work.Cheating and Plagiarism may also manifest itself as:failing to cite an author for whose ideas have been incorporated into a student's paper;cutting and pasting different internet web site or database text in a paper or using apurchased paper;facilitating another student to use your work;copying another’s work with or without their knowledge;using a hand-held device such as a calculator to store notes, formulae, etc. when aninstructor does not allow such aid on an exam;using notes and/or other aids that are prohibited on an exam;submission of the same work to different classes (AKA self-plagiarism);and, any other method by which a student gains an unfair advantage.Cheating and plagiarism are unfair to all students: it rewards those who put forth less than a fulleffort and penalizes those who use only traditional means of preparing for and taking an exam or11

writing a paper. It does not provide the grader with an accurate representation of the student’sknowledge or ability to complete the assignment.Penalties for students found guilty of plagiarism or cheating may include one or more of thefollowing:a failing grade for the assignment or exam;a failing grade for the course and a letter of explanation included in the student’spermanent academic file;expulsion from the University.1Stevenson, A., & Lindberg, C.
