Effective: September 1, 1996

Supplements System Policy: System Policy 13.02

1. The university will not condone plagiarism in any form. The faculty, administration, and students are expected to uphold and support the highest academic standards in this matter.

2. Plagiarism is handled initially by the instructor. If the instructor feels the problem warrants more attention, it should then be pursued through the department head. If the department head wishes, it should be brought to the attention of the dean of the college for study and review before meeting with the standing University Discipline Committee.
