PLAGIARISM DECLARATION FORM

A form of plagiarism is when you extract information from a book, article or web page without acknowledging the source and pretend that it is your own work. Students who commit plagiarism will be referred to the Committee for Discipline for a ruling to be made. Plagiarism is considered a serious violation of the Universitys regulations and may lead to suspension from the University. When you submit a paper to any journal or conference, this form must be completed, signed, dated, and submitted to the faculty postgraduate office. To the best of my knowledge and belief, this paper is based on own work, all sources have been properly acknowledged, and the paper contains no plagiarism.
