Students can do this any time during the semester. If a student doesn't qualify for a medical withdrawal, he or she may go to the Registrar's Office in the University Center and sign up for the forgiveness policy. Passing off someone else's words as one's own or turning in a paper from a previous class are both incredibly stupid things to do in ENC 1101. Students can be kicked out of school for plagiarizing. If a student is lucky, he or she will only receive an F for the course.
Students can always try asking their teacher for an extension when they have a time crunch.
Most students work hard and honestly to improve their writing. If students come forward, instead of making the teacher suspect plagiarism, they might be allowed to rewrite the paper.
