Plagiarism Refresher
According to WCU's Academic Integrity Policy, students suspected of plagiarism must "attend a refresher course on research methods and proper documentation provided by the library." The student needs to make an appointment with a librarian to view the tutorial in the library during normal working hours. The librarian will have the student complete our plagiarism tutorial and speak with the student about how to avoid plagiarism in the future, resources are available to them, as well as answer any questions the student may have concerning plagiarism. A completed form will be given to the referring faculty member and the Office of Academic Affairs.
Questions about the Plagiarism Refresher may be directed to Dee Lumpkin (Hattiesburg) or Hugh Donohoe (Tradition).
