Plagiarism

Udacity Plagiarism Overview

Plagiarism is taken extremely seriously at Udacity for all students in Nanodegree programs. By using Udacity services, you are committing to our Honor Code and Community Code of Conduct which prohibits copying of work which is not original.

Before you can submit a project on Udacity, you must agree to the following terms and Udacity Honor Code:

By agreeing to the above, you are confirming that your project submission consists only of your own work and that code from other students’ Udacity projects have not been incorporated.

A project is flagged for plagiarism when a student has copied any part of another student’s work, even with attribution. Other students' code for the same project cannot be used, even if it's publicly accessible on Github, on the forums, etc.

Consequences of Plagiarism

• If a student’s work is suspected of plagiarism, they are given a warning and an opportunity to re-submit their original work within a certain time frame. They need to provide details on how they completed a project and include a list of all sources used. If the second submission is confirmed as original work, they can continue in the program.
• If they are found of a second instance of plagiarism, they are removed from the program.
