Academic Integrity
Plagiarism, i.e. the presentation as one's own work the words,
ideas, and opinions of someone else, is a serious concern in any
academic setting. This University, like all academic
institutions in the United States, assumes that the written work
of a student is literally the student's own, and that any
original idea or research contributions taken from the published
works of others will be properly acknowledged.
When any material is taken directly from a published
source, it must be appropriately cited. If a statement is used
verbatim, it must be enclosed in quotation marks, as well as
otherwise acknowledged.
