Plagiarism
Plagiarism involves two kinds of wrongdoing. Using another
person’s ideas, information, or expressions without acknowledging that person’s
work constitutes intellectual theft. Passing off another person’s ideas,
information, or expressions as your own to get a better grade or gain some
other advantage constitutes fraud. Plagiarism is sometimes a moral and ethical
offences rather than a legal one since some instances of plagiarism fall outside
the scope of copyright infringement, legal offence. Plagiarism is almost always
seen as a shameful act, and plagiarists are usually regarded with pity and
scorn. They are pitied because they have demonstrated their inability to
develop and express their own thoughts. They are scorned because of their
dishonesty and their willingness to deceive others for personal gain. The act
and practice of plagiarism is not only sometimes criminally prosecutable and
always dishonest and
shameful, but it is also intellectually lazy and deprives the plagiarist of an
education. Examples of plagiarism include:
• Any quotation, or even rewording, paraphrase,
or summary of another person’s words, thoughts, ideas, opinions, or theories
without appropriate acknowledgement. This example would obviously include any
copying and pasting material from any source, including the Internet,
regardless of to what degree.
• The presentation in any form of another’s
artistic, literary, scientific, or other creative work as one’s own.
• Allowing someone else to write one’s paper;
copying, buying, or stealing either in part or in its entirety one’s paper from
another source such as a book, an article, or the Internet.
• Appropriate acknowledgement includes, but is
not limited to, quotation marks around quoted material and citation appropriate
to the discipline. See the APA and MLA guidelines in the Hodges’ Harbrace
Handbook (Glenn and Gray 552‐650), available in the campus bookstore.
Faculty members reserve the right to add to
these rules at their discretion. Any addition to the rules will be plainly
stated in said faculty member’s syllabus. Ignorance of these rules does not
constitute innocence and is not an excuse for plagiarism. Students accused of
plagiarism will be referred via the non-criminal incident reporting system to
the Student Conduct Board for hearings to adjudicate said accusation. The
sanctions for plagiarism include at a minimum a zero grade on the plagiarized
assignment and may include failure of the course, suspension and even expulsion
from the College. Please refer to the sanctions section of the student handbook
for more information.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) STANDARDS FOR FINANCIAL AID
The U.S. Department of Education requires institutions of higher
education to establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress for
all students enrolled in a degree program, regardless of whether federal aid
was received. Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) means that a student
is progressing in a positive manner toward fulfilling the requirements for a
degree. Failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress will result in
the loss of all federal and state aid.
In order to keep up to date you must keep
