ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING

As stated in clause 4.10 of the IPESA:

MCIT defines plagiarism as: The use by a student of someone else’s language, ideas, images, work, information or any
other original material without acknowledging and/or documenting its source. This applies to any work presented or
submitted by the student such as, but not limited to: text, media, print or online document. To avoid plagiarism, all work
material must be in a student’s own words or, if using other resources – they must be appropriately quoted and
referenced.

Cheating means any dishonest or deceptive practices in relation to information, academic coursework and evaluation.

All incidents of plagiarism or cheating will be reported to the Pedagogical Committee and the Academic Dean will be
informed.

The above incidents may result in disciplinary action such as:
- Failing grade of zero on the assignment, work or course.
- Suspension/expulsion from the course and/or the program and/or the college.

For further information, please refer to the IPESA, found on Omnivox under “Documents and Messages”.
