Last Update 6/8/10 Academic Integrity

The CUNY Policy on plagiarism says the following about plagiarism (the CUNY Policy can be found in Appendix B.3 of the CCNY Undergraduate Bulletin 2007 -2009): “ Plagiarism is the act of presenting another person’s ideas, research or writings as your own. The following are some examples of plagiarism, but by no means is it an exhaustive list:

1 1. Copying another person’s actual words without the use of quotation marks and footnotes attributing the words to their source. 2 2. Presenting another person’s ideas or theories in your own words without acknowledging the source. 3 3. Using information that is not common knowledge without acknowledging the source. 4 4. Failing to acknowledge collaborators on homework and laboratory assignments. 5 5. Internet plagiarism includes submitting downloaded term papers or parts of term papers, paraphrasing or copying information from the internet without citing the source, and “cutting and pasting” from various sources without proper attribution.

The City College Faculty Senate has approved a procedure for addressing violations of academic integrity, which can also be found in Appendix B.3 of the CCNY Undergraduate Bulletin.”

Be aware that if we suspect plagiarism we will follow this procedure, no exceptions made; i.e. we will report you to the Academic Integrity Official. Disciplinary sanctions range from failing the class to expulsion from the college.
