When the instructor permits collaboration among students, the use of another student s work or ideas should be credited properly. It is the obligation of students to be thoroughly familiar with proper citation of sources and to consult and refer to authoritative style guides for research papers. New students will receive a copy of Sources during Orientation. Students should keep this booklet for reference throughout their years at Bowdoin. Students are particularly encouraged to consult the MLA Style Guides, Sources, and Bibliographic Formats for Citing Electronic Information.
Plagiarism is possible with any work performed in any medium and any scholarly discipline.

Violation of federal, state, or local statutes on or off Bowdoin College premises or at College-sponsored or supervised activities.
