Top Tips
✓ Read The Policy. Become familiar with your college's Academic Integrity policy. Not knowing the policy will not prevent you from facing disciplinary action.
✓ Know When To Work Alone. Make sure you know when it's okay to work in groups on an assignment and when you ought to work alone. Collaborating on a test, quiz, or assignment can get you into trouble if you are supposed to be working alone.
✓ Start Fresh. Using work from an old class on a new assignment is almost always against the rules. Start fresh on each and every project with new ideas and up-to-date research.
✓ Cite Your Sources. When doing your research, keep a record of your information sources and learn to cite them accurately. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism.
