When students submit any work for academic credit, they make an implicit claim that the work is wholly their own, completed without the assistance of any unauthorized person. These works include, but are not limited to: exams, quizzes, presentations, papers, projects, studio work, process work, and other assignments and assessments. Students may study, collaborate, and work together on assignments at the discretion of the instructor. If a student is in doubt as to what constitutes plagiarism, consulting their instructor at the beginning of a project is key.
Examples of infractions include, but are not limited to:
- Plagiarism, defined as using the exact language or a close paraphrase of someone else’s ideas without citation.
- Violations of fair use, including the unauthorized and uncited use of another’s artworks, images, designs, etc.
- i.e. tracing another artist’s image from social media
- The supplying or receiving of completed work including papers, projects, outlines, artworks, designs, prototypes, models, or research for submission by any person other than the author.
- The unauthorized submission of the same or essentially the same piece of work for credit in two different classes.
- The unauthorized supplying or receiving of information about the form or content of an examination.
- The unauthorized use of AI in class assignments at any stage of the creative process.
- Use of AI in the classroom is up to the discretion of the instructor and should always be cited.
- The supplying or receiving of partial or complete answers, or suggestions for answers; or the supplying or receiving of assistance in interpretation of questions on any examination from any source not explicitly authorized. (This includes copying or reading of another student’s work or consultation of notes or other sources during an examination.)
For academic support, students are encouraged to seek assistance from the Writing Lab, Pratt Munson Library, or consult with an instructor about other support resources.
