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 (2010) 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.

Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s work, including the work of other students, as one’s own. Any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged, unless the information is common knowledge. What is considered "common knowledge" may differ from course to course.

a. A student must not adopt or reproduce ideas, opinions, theories, formulas, graphics, or pictures of another person without acknowledgement.

b. A student must give credit to the originality of others and acknowledge indebtedness whenever:

1. directly quoting another person's actual words, whether oral or written;
2. using another person's ideas, opinions, or theories;
3. paraphrasing the words, ideas, opinions, or theories of others, whether oral or written;
4. borrowing facts, statistics, or illustrative material; or
5. offering materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgement."
