All students, faculty and staff have the obligation to prevent violations of academic integrity and to take corrective action when they do occur. This procedure defines violations of academic integrity, describes a prevention program and explains the steps for reporting and adjudicating violations.
Plagiarism is perhaps the most common and misunderstood form of academic dishonesty.
It involves the taking of ideas, writings, etc. from another and passing them off as one's own. Plagiarism includes the use of any source to complete academic assignments without proper acknowledgment of the source. A strong proactive strategy is the best way to preserve academic integrity among students, faculty and staff. All new students must review this policy prior to their first class with Embry-Riddle. If they have any questions regarding this area they should raise them to the resident center director, instructor or academic advisor for resolution.
