According to the TCC Student Code of Conduct, plagiarism is the use of work or ideas without proper acknowledgment of source. Prohibited behaviors include, but are not limited to:

1. Partial or incomplete citation of work or ideas.
2. Improperly paraphrasing by acknowledging the source but failing to present the material in one’s own words.
3. Paraphrasing without acknowledgment of the source.
4. Multiple submissions of the same or substantially the same academic work for academic credit.
