Consequences: An assignment in ENGL 2311.313/314 that the instructor considers to be in whole or in part intentionally plagiarized will receive a zero, the student must discuss the incident with the instructor to discuss their future in the class, and the incident will be reported to the college. If the instructor finds a student has plagiarized in whole or in part a further assignment, the student will not be allowed to complete the course.
