What is UMUC’s approach to academic integrity and plagiarism?
The UMUC Graduate School upholds the highest standard of academic integrity. As a graduate student, we expect you to maintain academic honesty and integrity in all of your class work. If you have questions about how to maintain academic integrity in your courses, or would like to learn more about what constitutes plagiarism, contact your professor or program director. Additional resources about academic integrity are available through: • Virtual Academic Integrity Laboratory (VAIL) • Information and Library Services’ Citation Resources • Effective Writing Center’s How to Avoid Plagiarism Module Incidents of academic dishonesty or plagiarism are handled according to UMUC’s Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism policy. Contact your program director, academic specialist, academic coordinator or Graduate Student Relations with any questions about these procedures.
