Please See the Attached Guides for Academic Integrity Policies and Plagiarism Prevention Strategies
Plagiarism is the process of using or copying another person’s written words and/or ideas and claiming it as original. Rasmussen University considers plagiarism a serious offense, and will respond to any infractions according to the Academic Integrity Policy.
Common direct and indirect instances of plagiarism include the following:
· Literal inclusion of material from a text or image without attribution (no trace of either the in-text or the References page citation)
· Paraphrasing from a material or text without attribution
· Use of "for-hire" or "ghost" writers, either local or via an Internet source (paper mill)
· Use of at least three consecutive words without attribution, from a single instance to multiple instances within one assignment
· Identical papers submitted by more than one person
· Identical papers produced by the same individual for more than one assignment without permission
· Intentional inclusion of extra citations, or mismatching of internal citations to References citations
