Avoiding Plagiarism
According to Webster's New World Dictionary, to plagiarize is to "take
(ideas, writings, etc.) from (another) and offer them as one's own."
Plagiarism can be deliberate or unintentional. NAU students are responsible
for knowing what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.
At NAU, plagiarism is a form of misconduct known as "Academic Dishonesty."
Check the Academic Dishonesty appendix of the NAU Student Code of Conduct and
you'll see the various forms: plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, fraud and facilitating
academic dishonesty. All are subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of
Conduct.
