- All written work submitted for credit is accepted as the student's own work. It may not, therefore, have been composed, wholly or partially by another person.
- The wording of written work is taken as the writer's own. Thus, one may not submit work that has been copied, wholly or partially, from a book, article, essay, newspaper, another student's paper or notebook, or any other written or printed or media source. Another writer's phrases, sentences, or paragraphs may be included only if presented as quotations and the source acknowledged.
- The ideas expressed in a paper or report are accepted as originating with the writer. Written work that paraphrases any written or printed media material without acknowledgment may not be submitted for credit. Ideas from books and essays may be incorporated in the writer's work as starting points, governing issues, illustrations, and the like, but in each case the source must be cited.
- Students may correct and revise their writing with the aid of reference books. They may also discuss their writing with peer writing groups or with peer tutors. However, students may not submit writing that has been revised substantially by another.
- No written work may be submitted for credit that has been used to fulfill the requirements of another course, in whatever department, unless permission to coordinate work has been granted by both teachers.
