"Academic Integrity: The free exchange of ideas depends on the participants' trust that they will be given credit for their work. Everyone in an academic community must be responsible for acknowledging, using the methods accepted by the various academic disciplines, their use of others' words and ideas. Since intellectual workers' words and ideas constitute a kind of property, plagiarism is like theft.
Furthermore, as a reader you may want to follow other writers' paths of research in order to make your own judgments about their evidence and arguments. You will depend on those writers' accuracy and honesty in reporting their sources. In turn, your readers will depend on yours.

The free exchange of ideas also depends on the participants' trust that others' work is their own and that it was done and is being reported honestly. Intellectual progress in all the disciplines demands the truthfulness of all participants. Plagiarism and cheating are attacks on the very foundation of academic life, and cannot be tolerated within universities. [Section eight (8)] of the Code (http://www2.ncsu.edu/prr/student_services/student_conduct/POL445.00.1.htm) defines academic dishonesty and provides information on potential sanctions for violators of academic integrity." (NCSU Code of Student Conduct, pg. 3)

Academic Dishonesty: "Academic dishonesty is the giving, taking, or presenting of information or material by a student that unethically or fraudulently aids oneself or another on any work which is to be considered in the determination of a grade or the completion of academic requirements or the enhancement of that student's record or academic career." (NCSU Code of Student Conduct, pg. 3) A more detailed list of the University policies pertaining to academic integrity can be found on the Student Conduct website or in the Code of Student Conduct.

" The act of submitting work for evaluation or to meet a requirement is regarded as assurance that the work is the result of your own thought and study, produced without assistance, and stated in your own words, except as quotation marks, references, or footnotes acknowledging the use of other sources. The submission of work used previously must first be approved by [me] prior to submission." (NCSU Code of Student Conduct, pg. 3)
