Plagiarism / Student Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to, cheating, fabricating or falsifying information or sources, improper collaboration, submitting the same paper for different classes without permission, and plagiarism. Plagiarism is an act of literary theft and is therefore considered an act of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism is defined as the act or instance of using or closely imitating the language, work product, and/or thoughts of another author without authorization obtained or credit given. It involves the passing off or submission of another author’s work as one’s own. This includes the use of AI technology. This includes but is not limited to, submitting assignments digitally or via hard copy.
All of the following are considered plagiarism:
- Turning in someone else’s work as your own.
- Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit.
- Failing to put a direct quotation in quotation marks.
- Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation.
- Changing words by copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit.
- Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up a majority of your work, whether you give credit or not.
- Submitting work generated by AI technology
A student who is found to be guilty of academic dishonesty or plagiarism may receive a grade of zero (0)/F on the assignment/test. Students guilty of multiple infractions involving academic dishonesty or plagiarism may be suspended or expelled.
