Academic Integrity & Plagiarism

The Louisburg College Student Handbook states that:
Academic Integrity Policy: All Louisburg College students are expected to
uphold standards of honesty and integrity in their academic pursuits and
are responsible for producing only their own work in all classes.
Cheating, plagiarism, or lying for academic advantage undermines
academic integrity. Students are responsible for understanding these
violations as explained below.
Plagiarism: Students must use their own words and must document the
source of anything written in any paper or assignment. Direct quotations
must be cited as such. Students must paraphrase material in such a
way that the style and language are distinctively their own; merely
rearranging words or making minimal changes in wording is plagiarism
even if documented.

Students must submit work that is their own. They may not submit work
that has been produced by anyone else. They may not give their work
to other students to plagiarize. They are encouraged to get ideas or
suggestions from other sources when the instructor permits.
