Plagiarism: the act of presenting anothers work or ideas as your own.

Introduction | Plagiarism | Citing Sources

img Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone elses work, including the work of other students, as ones 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.

In harmony with its mission statement, պAV expects students to demonstrate the ability to think clearly and exhibit personal moral integrity in every sphere of life. Honesty in all academic matters is a vital component of personal integrity, which explains why breaches in academic integrity principles are taken seriously by the University.

Read the entire Code of Academic Integrity to familiarize yourself with the entire scope.
