IU Policy on Plagiarism

In order to be successful in an Advance College Project (ACP) course, students will need to present work that meets an academic standard expected of a university student. Understanding academic integrity is critical for both instructors and students. Plagiarism is a violation of another person's academic integrity. Please read the definition of plagiarism below:

The Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct (1998) indicates that students may be disciplined for several different kinds of academic misconduct. These include cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, interference, and violation of course rules. In particular the code states:

"3. Plagiarism.

A student must not adopt or reproduce ideas, words, or statements of another person without appropriate acknowledgment. A student must give credit to the originality of others and acknowledge an indebtedness whenever he or she does any of the following:

Quotes another person's actual words, either oral or written;
Paraphrases another person's words, either oral or written;
Uses another person's idea, opinion, or theory; or
Borrow facts, statistics, or other illustrative material, unless the information is common knowledge."

(quoted from Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, Part III, Student Misconduct, Academic Misconduct, By action of the University Faculty Council (April 24, 1990) and the Trustees of Indiana University (May 4, 1990). Amended by the University Faculty Council (April 13, 1993; May 12, 1993 and October 8, 1996) and the Trustees of Indiana University (December 4, 1992; June5, 1993, and December 13, 1996.)
