The Writing Centers at TCC are located on every campus and can help you with your citation and formatting questions. Visit the Writing and Reading Support Canvas page to chat with a tutor, schedule an appointment, and learn more about their services and how they can help.
Refer to the TCC Student Handbook for information regarding academic integrity and prohibited behaviors, including a definition and examples of plagiarism (Student Code of Conduct, Article III, Item 31).
The TCC Libraries offer two tutorials about plagiarism and how to avoid it. The tutorials cover the same content but use different citation styles.
For more help with citations check our Citation guide or reach out to the Writing Center.
