Q. What is plagiarism and how can I avoid it?

Plagiarism is the act of taking credit for someone else's work.

It is a serious academic offence which includes presenting the work, words, images or thoughts of others as your own without identifying and giving proper credit to the original source.

Please find the various forms of academic integrity breaches on the college's Academic Integrity page.

Please remember to cite your sources when writing your paper to avoid plagiarism! You can find information on how to cite in our research guide below:
