Most people do not deliberately commit plagiarism. Usually, it results from procrastination, incomplete understanding of the original material, or basic citation errors.
Our Writing Center has created this HELPFUL GUIDE to walk you through the citation process. You can also set an appointment with the Writing Center if you want face-to-face mentorship through the citation process.
In our program, you'll be encouraged to learn the MLA writing style. Purdue Owl Online Writing Lab also offers great resources for understanding and successfully writing an MLA-based paper.
MLA is the common writing style in the Humanities (like English). Keep in mind that different disciplines may encourage you to use other writing styles throughout your tenure as an undergraduate student. Education, Psychology, and the Sciences often use APA, while Business, History, and the Fine Arts often use Chicago. Whatever style you need to use, the Writing Program or online resources like Purdue Owl can assist you in avoiding plagiarism.
Students who have concerns regarding their courses should first address those concerns with the assigned instructor in order to reach a resolution. Students who are unsatisfied with the outcome of that conversation or have not been able to meet individually with their instructor, whether in-person, by email, by telephone, or by another communication medium, should then schedule an appointment with the Director of Writing, Dr. Jessica Pauszek, by downloading and submitting a Student Grievance Form.
Where applicable, students should also consult University Procedure 13.99.99.R0.05 (“Student Appeal of Instructor Evaluation”).

The designation of an incomplete grade (an “I”) was created in order to accommodate students who, despite positive performance throughout the semester and for an extenuating circumstance including issues like legal trouble, serious illness, death in the family, et cetera, cannot complete the semester within the fifteen weeks allotted. Incompletes are given only if these kinds of circumstances present themselves near the end of the semester and whenever a withdraw is not appropriate.
If an instructor, in conversation with Dr. Pauszek, decides that an Incomplete is appropriate, together the student and teacher should create a contract outlining what the student must complete in order to finish the course successfully, and most importantly, a timeline for completing all requirements. Instructors should send a copy of this collaborative contract to Dr. Pauszek.
