A note on plagiarism

A student commits plagiarism when he or she:

• submits the work of another person as original work
• gives inadequate attribution to an author or creator whose work was incorporated into the student's work, including failing to indicate clearly (through accepted practices within the discipline such as footnotes, internal references, and the crediting of all verbatim passages through indentations of longer passages or the use of quotation marks) the inclusion of another individual's work
• paraphrases material from a source without sufficient acknowledgement as described above

Penalties for plagiarism range from a simple reprimand, to a failing grade for the course, to permanent suspension from the program.

Extensions

If necessary, you may submit a request for an extension on your work term documents (work term report, student performance review and logbook).
