You need to understand what plagiarism is and avoid doing it. Plagiarism is the act of appropriating passages or ideas from the work of another individual, either word for word or in substance, and representing them as one's own work. This includes any submission of written work other than one's own. For more information, refer to the NVCC Student Handbook, which you will find at www.nvcc.edu/resources/stuhandbook . Failure to comply may result in expulsion from the college.
