Plagiarism

Plagiarism is representing the works of another as one’s own. This includes submitting work done by another (ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, forms, drawings, photographs, or other illustrative materials), including websites, as one’s own work.

Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

  • Misrepresentation caused by failure to document acknowledged sources accurately, thoroughly and appropriately;
  • The use of unacknowledged sources: use of information or phrasing from any source not cited or included in the bibliography and references by the student; and/or
  • Submitting as one’s own work done by, copied from, substantively translated by or purchased from another person or entity.

Plagiarism, whether intentional or accidental, is intellectual and academic dishonesty. All instances of Plagiarism will be reported to Marymount’s Academic Integrity Committee for further action and result in immediate failure of the course.
