Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of someone else as if they are your own words, without crediting the original writer.

Academic integrity is the commitment of students, professors, and staff at academic institutions to demonstrate honest behavior in academic settings. This includes acknowledging the contributions of others in your work and refraining from committing plagiarism. The consequences for violating academic integrity can be very serious, including suspension or expulsion.
Madonna University calls this Scholastic Integrity and Research Integrity in the Undergraduate Catalog. The catalog states that “When a student uses the words, ideas, or information of another person or source without correctly giving credit to that source, he or she is violating the ethical code of Madonna University” (Madonna University, 2019).
