Plagiarism occurs when a student purposefully presents someone else’s words, ideas, or other original materials without referencing the original source or author.

Examples:

• A student uses paraphrases, quotations, or ideas from an outside source and does not reference the original source or author.

• A student purchases or uses someone else’s work and submits it as their own.

Self-Plagiarism occurs when a student purposefully uses work that they have submitted in a previous class without substantial revision and checking with their current instructor.

Examples:

• A student retaking ENG110 submits an assignment that they used in the previous ENG110 class without substantial revision and checking with their current instructor.

• A student in HIS101 submits the exact paper he/she wrote in ENG110 without substantial revision and checking with their current instructor.
