"All students are expected to know what constitutes plagiarism and to avoid committing it in their written work. If plagiarism exists, as stated above, it is a violation of the Westminster Student Code of Conduct, whether the plagiarism was intentional or not. Academic misconduct is an extremely serious ethical and professional violation and may result in sanctions such as probation, suspension, or dismissal from the college. If you have questions about what constitutes plagiarism, please ask. All academic misconduct violations will be reported to the Academic Honesty Council."
