Sullivan University's policy on cheating and plagiarism is consistent with the definition of plagiarism provided by Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary:
To plagiarize is to;
- steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own;
- use (a created production) without crediting the source;
- to commit literary theft;
- present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
Sullivan University also considers a student to be guilty of plagiarism if the student allows their original work to be used by another student for academic credit.
Note: Refer to the Student Handbook for complete details of the Sullivan University policy.
