Plagiarism Policy
The Ohio University Student Code of Conduct prohibits all forms of academic dishonesty. These include cheating; plagiarism; forgery; furnishing false information to the University; and alteration or misuse of University documents, records, or identification. If a student engages in course-related academic dishonesty, his or her grade on the work in question or in the course may be lowered by the instructor.
Instructors may also report cases of academic dishonesty to University Judiciaries for further action; however, by so doing, an instructor does not in any way relinquish the right to assign a grade in a course. (Faculty Handbook)
