to the Usage Policy posted on the Turnitin.com site.

11. Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credit earned at
another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers or
guarantee that the degree will be recognized in every country. Acceptance of credit or
graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution, employer, or country. For
these reasons, besides ascertaining the accredited status of an institution, students should
take additional measures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether their educational
goals will be met through attendance at a particular institution. Those measures should
include inquiries to institutions to which transfer might be desired or to prospective
employers.

University procedures, decisions, or judgments, I understand that I have the right to seek
a satisfactory resolution through the formal avenues of appeal and redress outlined in the
Complaint and Grievance Policy in the University Catalog. In the event that a complaint
could not be properly resolved after exhausting all formal avenues of resolution and
redress, I understand that I may file a grievance with the Louisiana Board of Regents,
P.O. Box 3677, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-3677. I understand that I may also file a
grievance with the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), 1101 17th
Street NW, Suite 808, Washington, DC 20036, (202) 234-5100, http://www.deac.org.
13. I understand that plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, engaging in or facilitating academic
dishonesty, republishing or redistributing any course materials including but not limited

University’s Academic Integrity Policy and are subject to disciplinary action as outlined

materials are the property of WorldQuant University.

Policy and subject to disciplinary action.
 15. I understand that I will own the rights to all student work created for the purpose of
course and Program completion at the University (“Student Work”), except as and for the
period otherwise required by a student’s written employment or consulting agreement
