Plagiarism Statement
The following excerpt on plagiarism comes from the Student Handbook, Planner & Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Ethics (2012-2013):
Plagiarism is a very serious offense and can have ramifications beyond your college career into your post-secondary education and professional life. Be sure to identify the writings/thoughts of others if they appear in your work with quotation marks/appropriate citations. The instructor will keep a close eye on this issue, so please do not plagiarize. The Code of Student Ethics, as found in the Savannah State University’s Student Handbook, categorizes plagiarisms as academic misconduct. Violating these standards of conduct, as a first offense, shall result in sanctions ranging from a reprimand to permanent expulsion from the University. The policy states that students are subject to disciplinary action for engaging in academic misconduct and academic dishonesty. Cheating or academic dishonesty is defined as the deception of others about one’s own work or about the work of another.
Examples of cheating include (but is not limited to) submitting another’s work as one’s own or allowing another to submit one’s work as though it were his or hers; several people completing on an assignment and turning in multiple copies, all represented either implicitly or explicitly as individual work; failure to properly acknowledge authorities quoted, cited or consulted in the preparation of written work (plagiarism). Specific examples of plagiarism are: copying and/or presenting the words of others as one’s own writing, including from Internet sources; copying words, even if you cite the sources, unless appropriate quotation is noted; copying words and then changing them a little, even if you give the source; or expressing in your own words someone else’s ideas as yours.

With the exception of University approved activities, it is expected that students should attend and be punctual to their classes, laboratories, and officially scheduled class requirements.
