Plagiarism is academic offenses in which a person takes an idea, language, or creative

product from another person and submits it as if it were his/her own work. If a student
submits a research paper written by somebody else to an instructor, that is plagiarism. If
someone “cuts and pastes” a sentence or even a few words from another source without
giving credit to the original source, that is plagiarism. Students must always cite the original
author. At UAEU, penalties for student misconduct, which includes plagiarism, are explained
in the university bylaws (Nos. 136-146) and include such sanctions as a formal letter of
warning kept on file; suspension from a course or from the university; exclusion from taking
the final examination; dismissal from the university; and the withdrawal of a degree.
