Plagiarism and Student Code of Conduct
Plagiarism occurs when a student submits or presents work of another person in such a manner as to lead the reader to believe that it is the student’s original work; self-plagiarism is the submission of work previously submitted for academic credit without prior written and signed approval of the current course instructor.
Cheating takes numerous forms and includes, but is not limited to, the following: copying from another student’s work or allowing another student to copy from one’s own work; obtaining a copy of an examination before it is officially available; misrepresenting or falsifying references, citations, or sources of information; knowingly recording or reporting false or invented empirical or statistical data; and possession of notes, books, diagrams or other aids during examinations that are not authorized by the examiner.
If you are found to be cheating or plagiarizing, you will be subject to disciplinary action as per the UNBC Student Code of Conduct. See http://www.unbc.ca/calendar/undergraduate/general/regulations.html for information.
