Academic Integrity
Last Update 6/8/10
The CUNY Policy on plagiarism says the following about plagiarism (the CUNY Policy can be found in
Appendix B.3 of the CCNY Undergraduate Bulletin 2007 -2009):
“Plagiarism is the act of presenting another person’s ideas, research or writings as your own. The
following are some examples of plagiarism, but by no means is it an exhaustive list:
1. Copying another person’s actual words without the use of quotation marks and footnotes
attributing the words to their source.
2. Presenting another person’s ideas or theories in your own words without acknowledging the
source.
3. Using information that is not common knowledge without acknowledging the source.
4. Failing to acknowledge collaborators on homework and laboratory assignments.
5. Internet plagiarism includes submitting downloaded term papers or parts of term papers,
paraphrasing or copying information from the internet without citing the source, and “cutting and
pasting” from various sources without proper attribution.
The City College Faculty Senate has approved a procedure for addressing violations of academic integrity,
which can also be found in Appendix B.3 of the CCNY Undergraduate Bulletin.”
Be aware that if we suspect plagiarism we will follow this procedure, no exceptions made; i.e. we will
report you to the Academic Integrity Official. Disciplinary sanctions range from failing the class to
expulsion from the college.
