academic private registration assignment submission

A. Registration

Students shall register during a prescribed period prior to the beginning of each semester or session. Registration for courses shall be accomplished in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the registrar. Late registrations will be accepted for one week after the beginning of classes in a regular semester and three days after the beginning of classes in a summer session. After the beginning of any session a late registrant shall be assessed an additional late registration fee (University Senate Document 73-6, January 28, 1974).

B. Immunization Requirements

Effective August 1995, Indiana state law requires all newly enrolled, full-time students attending residential campuses of Indiana public universities to be immunized against rubeola (10-day measles), rubella (German measles), mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus. This law requires the University to block the enrollment of any student who does not comply with immunization requirements.

• Evidence of immunization or immunity may be documented by completion of the Purdue Health History Form and signed by a healthcare provider. Other immunization records acceptable to the Indiana State Department of Health also may be used to document compliance with the immunization requirements. These include (1) a physician’s certificate, (2) immunization records forwarded by another school, (3) a record maintained by the student or parent showing the month and year during which each dose of vaccine was administered.
• Requests for exemption to these requirements based on medical or religious grounds must be accompanied by written documentation. Medically based requests must be signed by a healthcare provider; requests based on religious convictions must be signed by the student and submitted to the Purdue Student Health Center.
• Indicating the nature and duration of a medical condition that contraindicates an immunization, along with the specific vaccine identified as detrimental to the student’s health.
• Certifying pregnancy or suspected pregnancy.
• Verifying that the student is currently completing the course of all required immunizations.
• In the event of an outbreak of any of the vaccine preventable diseases covered by this law on or near campus, students holding exemptions will be excluded from all campus activities for their protection until the outbreak is declared to be over.
• Medical exemptions expire when the medical condition(s) contraindicating immunization change in a manner that permits immunization.

C. Allowable Academic Load

A student’s academic load shall be arranged, so far as possible, in accordance with the following policy:

• Credit hours in excess of 18 hours during a regular session shall be carefully monitored by the academic advisor, who may wish to consult with appropriate University personnel concerning the student’s prognosis for success. Unless the student’s curriculum requirement for that session is specified as greater than 18 credit hours, approval by the dean of his/her school or the dean’s designee must be obtained before the student may be assigned more than 18 credit hours.
• In summer session, a student may not be assigned to more than nine credit hours without approval by the dean of his/her school or the dean’s designee (University Senate Document 83-5, as amended and approved January 23, 1984).

D. Assignment to Intensive Courses

  No person shall be permitted to register in two intensive courses in the summer session at the same time. In general, no one who is taking an intensive course shall be permitted to take another nonintensive course at the same time except, in special cases, with the approval of the instructor in the intensive course, the head of the department administering the intensive course, and, for graduate students, the dean of the Graduate School.

E. Assignment to a Dependent Course

(University Senate Document 83-7, March 26, 1984)

A student who received a grade of F, N, or U in any course shall not be admitted to any dependent course (one requiring the failed course as a prerequisite as set forth in the catalog), and any assignment to or enrollment in such dependent course shall be cancelled. Enrollment in a dependent course also may be cancelled if the student has not taken the prerequisite course or otherwise satisfied the stated requirements for enrolling in the course.

If a student on trial in a dependent course completes the course with a passing grade, his/her achievement may, by prior agreement, be construed as satisfying the requirements for changing an E grade in any prerequisite course in the same department, provided the department head approves and reports the change of grade properly to the registrar. However, satisfactory work in a dependent course shall not relieve the student of the requirement to complete required work in any prerequisite course in which a grade of I, PI, or SI (incomplete) was received. None of these provisions shall deprive a student of the opportunity to resolve a grade of E, I, PI, or SI in the normal manner. (See Academic Regulations and Procedures: Grades and Grade Reports , sections E and F.)

F. Schedule Revisions

(Applies to West Lafayette and North Central campuses only. University Senate Document 81-10, February 15, 1982, and University Senate Documents 83-7, March 26, 1984, and 83-8, March 26, 1984)

Schedule revisions may occur following the beginning of a semester or session and are governed by policies intended to be uniformly administered across the various schools of the University. Students may revise their schedule in accordance with the following policy:

• Course Additions, Change of Level, or Change of Pass/Not-Pass Option. A student may add a course, change course level, or change the pass/not-pass option during the first four weeks of a semester or the first two weeks of a summer session by obtaining on the schedule revision form the signatures of the academic advisor and the instructor of the course to be added or changed, if in their judgments the student could satisfactorily fulfill the course objectives. In the case of extenuating circumstances, course changes may be made during weeks five through nine of a semester or during weeks three through four and one-half of a summer session, upon recommendation of the student’s academic advisor, instructor, and head of the department in which the course is listed. Such course changes shall not be made during the last seven weeks of a semester or three and one-half weeks of a summer session.

• Cancellation of Assignment. Students shall receive a grade for every course in which they are assigned unless the course assignment has been properly cancelled at the registrar’s office upon presentation by the student of a request approved by the academic advisor. If there are extenuating circumstances, these must be stated on the request. When a course assignment is cancelled prior to the end of two weeks of a semester or one week of a summer session, the course will not be recorded on the student’s record. When a course assignment is cancelled after two weeks and prior to the end of four weeks of a semester or after one week and prior to the end of two weeks of a summer session, a grade of W shall be recorded. After four weeks and prior to the end of nine weeks of a semester or after two weeks and prior to the end of four and one-half weeks of a summer session, a course assignment may be cancelled upon the request of the student with the approval of the academic advisor. The instructor shall indicate whether the student is passing or failing (see Academic Procedures and Regulations: Grades and Grade Reports , section D). If the student is not passing, the case may be referred by either the student or the instructor to the dean of students, who, after consultations with the dean or the designee of the student’s school and other appropriate University agencies, shall determine whether there are sufficient extenuating circumstances beyond the student’s reasonable control to justify the cancellation of the course assignment without a failing grade. No course assignment shall be cancelled within the last seven weeks of any semester or three and one-half weeks of a summer session. The cancellation of all course assignments constitutes withdrawal from the University. Cancellation of all course assignments as a result of withdrawal shall be treated and recorded in the same manner as the cancellation of a single course assignment with the additional provision that the dean of students shall determine and assign the appropriate effective date to the withdrawal.

• Exceptions. Exceptions to the preceding regulations for registration, schedule revision, and cancellation of assignment may be made for courses that do not span the regular semester or summer session.

G. Withdrawal from the University

A student who withdraws from the University during any semester or summer session shall secure a written authorization from the head of the school in which he/she is registered and from the dean of students and shall present it to the registrar of the University for proper entry upon the record. Each assignment on the student’s schedule will be cancelled by the registrar in accordance with regulations governing cancellation of assignments. In cases of emergency, when a personal interview is impossible the student should present to the head of the school a proper written statement containing the reasons for his/her withdrawal.

When a student withdraws from the University, the registrar will issue authorization for refunds in accordance with the existing policy regarding such refunds.

H. Refunding of Fees and Tuition

(Board of Trustees minutes, December 7, 1950, and October 23, 1963)

Registered students who find it necessary to cancel their registration prior to the beginning of classes, upon the recommendation of the registrar, will receive a 100 percent refund of all fees and tuition.

Students who withdraw during the first six weeks of a semester, with the recommendation of the registrar, will receive a partial refund of the general service fee and tuition. More specifically, the percentage of refund is determined as follows:

• Withdrawal during the first or second week - 80 percent refund
• Withdrawal during the third or fourth week - 60 percent refund
• Withdrawal during the fifth or sixth week - 40 percent refund.
• Summer modules Refunds for summer modules are proportionate on the same basis as semester refunds. No portion of the health, student activity, recreation facilities, or academic building facilities fees will be refunded on or after the beginning of classes. For first-time students to Purdue University with Title IV Aid, and once classes begin, refunds are prorated based on the date of withdrawal from class(es). Refunds are calculated on all fees and tuition based on a diminishing scale. The refund period is through week 10 of the fall and spring semesters and through week five for an eight-week summer module. An administrative fee of $100 or five percent of tuition, fees, room, board, and other charges, whichever is less, will be deducted. Questions should be addressed to the Bursar’s Office.  

I. Granting Academic Credit to Students Who Withdraw from the University upon Order of Induction into Military Service

• Seniors who are candidates for degrees during any semester will receive full credit after the completion of eight or more weeks provided the grades are passing at the time of withdrawal. There will be no refund of fees in such cases.
• No credit will be granted to a student who withdraws during the first five weeks of any semester. After the end of the fifth week, academic credit will be granted according to the following plan, with the understanding that the student concerned has a passing grade or better in those courses in which academic credit is desired. When the grade is not passing, a W will be entered in his/her record. Fractions of credit other than those specified below will be adjusted to the nearest specified fraction. In no case will credit for less than one-third of an hour be recorded.

Programmes & Qualifications

• Information for centres about accepting private candidates

How to register as a private candidate

The information on this page is for students who are considering entering our exams as a private candidate.

If you do not attend a Cambridge school or are studying with a Cambridge International school registered as online, you can enter our exams as a private candidate.

Why choose Cambridge?

Our qualifications are internationally recognised by employers and by over 1900 universities worldwide, including more than 800 US universities (including the Ivy League) and all UK universities.

We have been providing international exams for more than 160 years and we are the only exam board wholly owned by a world-leading university.

How to enter exams as a private candidate

You must find a centre or approved Cambridge exam provider in your country that accepts private candidates and register with them to take Cambridge exams. You must make all your arrangements for taking exams directly with the school not with Cambridge International. For example, if you have any questions you must ask the school, you also discuss any special requests with them, such as access arrangements.

You must be able to meet the full requirements of any assessment for which you are entered.

Find a centre

British Council

The British Council works with us in countries that offer Cambridge exams to support private candidates wanting to register to sit exams. Contact your local British Council office directly to find out about registration and the support provided.

If you are in one of these locations below, you can contact the British Council and make entries through its regional office.

British Council offices that accept private candidates.

Help finding a Cambridge exam centre

Tutors & Exams has a placement service to help private candidates find a suitable exam centre. It connects private candidates to a network of registered organisations that offer the exams they want to enter. Contact Tutors & Exams for more information using the links below.

• International enquiries
• UK enquiries

Tutors & Exams is a third-party organisation with no direct links to Cambridge. We do not quality assure its service and are highlighting this service to help private candidates entering Cambridge exams.

Can I register as a private candidate if I do not attend a Cambridge centre?

Yes, you can register for our exams as a private candidate if you do not attend a Cambridge centre.

Are all Cambridge syllabuses available to private candidates?

Some syllabuses or options are not available to private candidates. You can find details of which syllabuses/options are available in the syllabus document. To find out whether a syllabus is available to private candidates, follow these steps:

• In the left hand menu, choose the programme (e.g. Cambridge Upper Secondary)
• Choose the qualification level (e.g. Cambridge IGCSE)
• Select ‘subjects’
• Choose your subject (e.g. Accounting 0452)
• This takes you to the syllabus overview page. On each syllabus overview page, you can find the syllabus document. This tells you whether the syllabus is available to private candidates.

How much does it cost to enter as a private candidate?

It is the responsibility of the centre to pay fees for any private candidates they accept. You may be required by the centre to reimburse the fee and to pay a further fee to cover the cost of supervision, and any other costs incurred, by the staff of the centre. Your centre will be able to confirm the fees you need to pay.

I am studying with a Cambridge International school registered as online, what are my options for taking exams?

Some Cambridge schools registered as online are approved as exam venues. Candidates can either be entered for exams directly by the centre and sit their exams as regular candidates, or they can enter as private candidates at other Cambridge exam venues. Many Cambridge schools registered as online do not have their own exam venue, so candidates must register to sit their exams as private candidates at a Cambridge exam venue convenient for them.

How do I request a review of marking or make an appeal?

You can only request a review of marking or make an appeal through a Cambridge school or Cambridge Associate e.g. British Council office you are registered to sit exams with.

Does the centre name appear on exam certificates?

No, the centre name does not appear on certificates issued to private candidates.

Rights, Rules, Responsibilities

2.4 academic regulations, 2.4.1 introduction.

A student is in good standing if the student is making normal progress toward a degree and has a satisfactory record in scholarship and conduct. Scholastic regulations for undergraduates pertaining to choice of studies, completion of course requirements, and academic standing are published online in the Undergraduate Announcement ( https://ua.princeton.edu ), and graduate student regulations also are online.

2.4.2 Jurisdiction over Undergraduates for Violations of Academic Rules and Regulations

Jurisdiction over violations of academic rules and regulations rests with two distinct committees at Princeton. All in-class undergraduate written examinations and tests are conducted under the honor system. All violations of the honor system are the concern of the Undergraduate Honor Committee. Violations of rules and regulations pertaining to all other academic work, including essays, term papers, laboratory reports, and take-home and remotely taken examinations fall under the jurisdiction of the Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline. Should there be any uncertainty regarding which body is responsible for the adjudication of a particular case, clarification should be requested from the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students or the chair of the Honor Committee.

2.4.3 Student Acknowledgment of Original Work

At the end of an essay, laboratory report, or any other requirement, undergraduates must write the following sentence and sign their name: “This paper represents my own work in accordance with University regulations.”

2.4.4 Transcription or Publication of Course-Related Materials

Students may not engage in the publication, sale, or distribution—online or by any other means—of syllabi, assignments, examinations, abstracts, or notes or transcriptions of the lectures and other course-related materials or required reading in any course of instruction in the University.

This regulation is not intended to preclude situations in which students may act as assistants to instructors who are themselves preparing lectures or other course-related materials, either for informal distribution (without sale) to members of a particular course or department, or for formal publication and sale by a publisher.

2.4.5 Tutoring and Online Solutions

An undergraduate is subject to disciplinary action if that student makes use of any paid or unpaid tutor, tutoring service, AI tutoring bot, or facility other than that regularly authorized by the Office of the Dean of the College. Also, no undergraduate may accept compensation for tutoring in Princeton courses except as authorized by the Office of the Dean of the College. Graduate students should consult the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School.

The use of solutions to specific questions or problems on any websites or online services (regardless of whether they require a paid subscription) when completing any work submitted to fulfill an academic requirement (such as homework assignments, problem sets, quizzes, tests, or examinations of any kind) is prohibited.

Also, students are prohibited from representing output generated by or derived from generative artificial intelligence (AI) as their own on any work submitted to fulfill an academic requirement. Any student violating this provision is subject to disciplinary action.

2.4.6 General Requirements for the Acknowledgment of Sources in Academic Work

The academic departments of the University have varying requirements for the acknowledgment of sources, but certain fundamental principles apply to all levels of work. In order to prevent any misunderstanding, students are expected to study and comply with the following basic requirements. If you have any questions about when and how to cite your sources, ask the course instructor. An important general rule is this: if you are unsure whether or not to acknowledge a source, always err on the side of caution and completeness by citing rather than not citing.

Any quotations, however small, must be placed in quotation marks or clearly indented beyond the regular margin. Any quotation must be accompanied (either within the text or in a footnote) by a precise indication of the source—identifying the author, title, place and date of publication (where relevant), and page numbers. Any sentence or phrase which is not the original work of the student must be acknowledged.

Paraphrasing

Any material which is paraphrased or summarized must also be specifically acknowledged in a footnote or in the text. A thorough rewording or rearrangement of an author’s text does not relieve one of this responsibility. Occasionally, students maintain that they have read a source long before they wrote their papers and have unwittingly duplicated some of its phrases or ideas. This is not a valid excuse. The student is responsible for taking adequate notes so that debts of phrasing may be acknowledged where they are due.

Ideas and Facts

Any ideas or facts which are borrowed should be specifically acknowledged in a footnote or in the text, even if the idea or fact has been further elaborated by the student. Some ideas, facts, formulas, and other kinds of information which are widely known and considered to be in the “public domain” of common knowledge do not always require citation. The criteria for common knowledge vary among disciplines; students in doubt should consult a member of the faculty.

Occasionally, a student in preparing any work submitted to fulfill an academic requirement has consulted an essay or body of notes on a similar subject by another student. If the student has done so, the student must state that fact and indicate clearly the nature and extent of their indebtedness to the other source. The name and class of the author of an essay or notes which are consulted should be given, and the student should be prepared to show the work consulted to the instructor, if requested to do so.

Footnotes and Bibliography

All the sources that have been consulted in the preparation of an essay or report should be listed in a bibliography, unless specific guidelines (from the academic department or instructor) request that only works cited be so included. However, the mere listing of a source in a bibliography shall not be considered a “proper acknowledgment” for specific use of that source within the essay or report; a footnote or endnote must also appear after the information or quotation from that source. Neither shall the use of a footnote at the end of a sentence or paragraph in which only minor word changes have been made from the original source be considered “proper acknowledgment.” The extent of indebtedness to the author must be made clear.

Nonprint and Electronic Sources

The requirement to acknowledge sources is not limited to printed material such as books or journal articles. You may need to acknowledge information that you’ve found in graphical form, sources that are works of visual or musical art, handwritten notes from a lecture or a laboratory, or even personal conversations. You should find out the disciplinary protocols for citing such nonprint sources by consulting a citation style manual, such as the MLA Handbook or The Chicago Manual of Style.

Electronic information through the internet, email, e-media, and e-publication has had a significant impact on the way we conduct research. An electronic source is any source that exists primarily in electronic form and is accessed primarily through electronic means. Websites, electronic periodicals, electronic books, emails and social media postings, and even streaming audio are all forms of electronic sources. Information and quotations from any electronic sources must be properly acknowledged. The protocols for citing electronic sources are well-established and you should consult a citation style manual for particular examples. At a minimum, cite the name and author of the electronic source, publisher information, the DOI (director object identifier) or the URL if the DOI is not available, and the date you accessed the material.

Generative Artificial Intelligence

As defined in section 2.4.7 , generative artificial intelligence (AI) is not a source, since its output is not produced by a person. If generative AI is permitted by the instructor (for brainstorming, outlining, etc.), students must  disclose its use rather than cite or acknowledge the use, since it is an algorithm rather than a source.  Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with and adhering to course and departmental policies regarding the use of generative AI. Inappropriate uses of the results of generative AI on any work submitted to fulfill an academic requirement, such as directly copying the output, representing output generated by or derived from generative AI as their own, exceeding the parameters specified by the instructor, or failing to disclose its use, would constitute violations of academic integrity.

Laboratory Work, Problem Sets, Computer Programs, and Homework

The organization of laboratory and computational courses varies throughout the University. In many courses, students work in pairs or in larger groups. In those cases where individual reports are submitted based on work involving collaboration, proper acknowledgment of the extent of the collaboration must appear in the report. In those cases where there are two or more signatories to a submitted report, each student’s signature is taken to mean that the student has contributed fairly to the work involved and understands and endorses the content of the report. If for any reason, a set of observations or calculations has been invalidated or left incomplete, permission must be granted by the instructor to obtain the data from other sources and those sources must be specifically acknowledged in the report. Make sure you understand the rules of collaboration in any course by asking the instructor.

Multiple Submission

Under certain conditions, the student may be permitted to rewrite an earlier work or to satisfy two academic requirements by producing a single piece of work more extensive than that which would satisfy either requirement on its own. In such cases however, the student must secure in writing, prior permission of each instructor. In cases where a previously submitted work, or a portion of it, is submitted in its original or revised form to another instructor, the student must also submit the original work with the revised version. If a single extended work has been written for more than one course, that fact must be clearly indicated at the beginning of the essay.

Oral Reports

Students required to submit written notes for oral reports must clearly acknowledge any work that is not original, in accordance with the requirements stated above.

Standard Forms of Reference

For standard forms of quotations, footnotes, and bibliographies, the student may consult one of the following: The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (Modern Language Association of America, 4th edition, 1995); A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (Kate L. Turabian, John Grossman, and Alice Bennett, 6th revised edition, l996); or a style sheet provided by a department of the University.

2.4.7 Definitions of Academic Violations under the Jurisdiction of the Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline and the Subcommittee on Student Life and Discipline of the Faculty Committee on the Graduate School

With regard to essays, laboratory reports, take-home examinations, or any other work submitted to fulfill an official academic requirement (including work submitted in draft form for an instructor’s review, where the instructor would reasonably assume adequate citations and/or true data), the following are considered academic infractions:

The use of any outside source without proper acknowledgment. “Outside source” means any work, published or unpublished, by any person other than the student (see section  2.4.6  and section  2.4.9 ).

Unauthorized Multiple Submission

The failure to obtain prior written permission of the relevant instructors to submit any work that has been submitted in identical or similar form in fulfillment of any other academic requirement at any institution.

False Citation

The attribution to, or citation of, a source from which the material in question was not, in fact, obtained.

The submission of data or information that has been deliberately altered or contrived by the student or with the student’s knowledge.

Gaining or Attempting to Gain an Unfair Advantage

The gaining or attempting to gain unauthorized advantage over fellow students in any work in fulfillment of an academic requirement. This may include but is not limited to a failure to follow the instructor’s policies or instructions for an assignment or exam in such a way that provides an advantage to the student or the misrepresentation—explicit or implicit—of information regarding the preparation, presentation, or submission of work in fulfillment of an academic requirement, where such misrepresentation is made to an instructor in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage, including the submission for re-grading of any academic work under the jurisdiction of the Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline.

Violation of Examination Procedures

During the course of an examination, the failure to follow examination procedures as set forth by the faculty member(s) who oversee that examination. (For in-class examination violations by undergraduate students, see section  2.3  of the Undergraduate Honor System.) Graduate students see also section  2.6.7  (“research integrity”).

Aiding Plagiarism or Any Other Academic Violation

Any aid knowingly given to another in committing any of the infractions described above, or aid given contrary to instructions provided by the course instructor, will also be considered a violation.

2.4.8 Violations

Jurisdiction.

Violations of these regulations are under the jurisdiction of the Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline or the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School.

Student’s Defense

The only adequate defense for a student accused of an academic violation is that the work in question does not, in fact, constitute a violation.

Neither the defense that the student was ignorant of the regulations concerning academic violations nor the defense that the student was under pressure at the time the violation was committed is considered an adequate defense or a mitigating factor.

Students who require assistance fulfilling their academic obligations are expected to seek such assistance on a prospective basis. Students with disabilities should inquire about available academic accommodations at the Office of Disability Services. All students are encouraged to avail themselves of the resources at the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, the Writing Center, and the residential colleges. When students come under time pressure, they are encouraged to discuss the possibility of an extension with their instructors and/or residential college dean or assistant dean for studies. A known disability for which the student did not seek accommodations prospectively will not be considered an adequate defense against an academic integrity charge or a mitigating factor.

Seriousness of the Offense

Academic infractions are always considered a serious matter, but will be considered especially serious if:

• The student has submitted a paper prepared by another person or agency.
• The student has a record of a previous finding of responsibility for another serious violation.
• The infraction includes the theft of another student’s work—even if the paper or assignment is returned after use, or consulted without being removed from the other student’s room or from a public or private room or from an electronic online location such as a website where work has been placed.

In determining the sanction, the Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline will consider the seriousness of the violation and whether the student ought reasonably to have understood that the actions were in violation of University regulations. If the committee concludes the violation was serious enough to warrant an immediate separation from the University, the sanction will be suspension or suspension with conditions from the University. Egregious academic integrity violations on the senior thesis may be grounds for expulsion. Students who have previously been separated for an academic integrity violation should expect to be expelled for a second such violation. While the failure to fulfill the general requirements for acknowledgment of sources in academic work may not be determined to reach this level of seriousness, any such failure will be considered an academic infraction and will normally result in a disciplinary sanction.

2.4.9 Examples of Plagiarism

The following examples provide a range of plagiarism from verbatim copying to thorough paraphrasing. The examples and comments offer clear guidance about how a source may be used and when a source must be cited.

Original Source

From: Alvin Kernan,  The Playwright as Magician . New Haven: Yale University Press, 1979, pp.102–103.

From time to time this submerged or latent theater in Hamlet becomes almost overt. It is close to the surface in Hamlet’s pretense of madness, the “antic disposition” he puts on to protect himself and prevent his antagonists from plucking out the heart of his mystery. It is even closer to the surface when Hamlet enters his mother’s room and holds up, side by side, the pictures of the two kings, Old Hamlet and Claudius, and proceeds to describe for her the true nature of the choice she has made, presenting truth by means of a show. Similarly, when he leaps into the open grave at Ophelia’s funeral, ranting in high heroic terms, he is acting out for Laertes, and perhaps for himself as well, the folly of excessive, melodramatic expressions of grief.

1. Example of Verbatim Plagiarism, or Unacknowledged Direct Quotation (lifted passages are bold):

Almost all of Shakespeare's  Hamlet  can be understood as a play about acting and the theatre. For example, there is  Hamlet’s pretense of madness, the “antic disposition” that he puts on to protect himself and prevent his antagonists from plucking out the heart of his mystery. When Hamlet enters his mother's room, he holds up, side by side, the pictures of the two kings, Old Hamlet and Claudius, and proceeds to describe for her the true nature of the choice she has made, presenting truth by means of a show. Similarly, when he leaps into the open grave at Ophelia's funeral, ranting in high heroic terms, he is acting out for Laertes, and perhaps for himself as well, the folly of excessive, melodramatic expressions of grief.

Comment : Aside from an opening sentence loosely adapted from the original and reworded more simply, this entire passage is taken almost word-for-word from the source. The few small alterations of the source do not relieve the writer of the responsibility to attribute these words to their original author. A passage from a source may be worth quoting at length if it makes a point precisely or elegantly. In such cases, copy the passage exactly, place it in quotation marks, and cite the author.

2. Example of Lifting Selected Passages and Phrases Without Proper Acknowledgement (lifted passages are bold):

Almost all of Shakespeare's  Hamlet  can be understood as a play about acting and the theatre. For example, in Act 1, Hamlet adopts a  pretense of madness  that he uses  to protect himself and prevent his antagonists from  discovering his mission to revenge his father's murder. He also presents  truth by means of a show  when he compares the portraits of Gertrude's two husbands in order  to describe for her the true nature of the choice she has made . And when he leaps in Ophelia’s open grave  ranting in high heroic terms , Hamlet is  acting out the folly of excessive, melodramatic expressions of grief .

Comment : This passage, in content and structure, is taken wholesale from the source. Although the writer has rewritten much of the paragraph, and fewer phrases are lifted verbatim from the source, this is a clear example of plagiarism. Inserting even short phrases from the source into a new sentence still requires placing quotations around the borrowed words and citing the author. If even one phrase is good enough to borrow, it must be properly set off by quotation marks. In the case above, if the writer had rewritten the entire paragraph and only used Alvin Kernan’s phrase “high heroic terms” without properly quoting and acknowledging its source, the writer would have plagiarized.

3. Example of Paraphrasing the Text While Maintaining the Basic Paragraph and Sentence Structure:

Almost all of Shakespeare’s  Hamlet  can be understood as a play about acting and the theatre. For example, in Act 1, Hamlet pretends to be insane in order to make sure his enemies do not discover his mission to revenge his father’s murder. The theme is even more obvious when Hamlet compares the pictures of his mother’s two husbands to show her what a bad choice she has made, using their images to reveal the truth. Also, when he jumps into Ophelia’s grave, hurling his challenge to Laertes, Hamlet demonstrates the foolishness of exaggerated expressions of emotion.

Comment : Almost nothing of Alvin Kernan’s original language remains in this rewritten paragraph. However the key idea, the choice and order of the examples, and even the basic structure of the original sentences are all taken from the source. Although it would no longer be necessary to use quotation marks, it would absolutely be necessary to place a citation at the end of this paragraph to acknowledge that the content is not original. Better still would be to acknowledge the author in the text by adding a second sentence such as—“Alvin Kernan provides several examples from the play where these themes become more obvious”—and then citing the source at the end of the paragraph. In the case where the writer did not try to paraphrase the source’s sentences quite so closely, but borrowed the main idea and examples from Kernan’s book, an acknowledgment would still be necessary.

Collaboration

In many courses—particularly, but not exclusively, in the sciences or engineering—instructors may permit or even encourage students to collaborate on problem sets, programming assignments, laboratory reports, or other academic projects. The standard for permissible collaboration varies from course to course, even within a particular department. Some instructors permit pairs or groups to turn in a single piece of work on behalf of all students in that group; other instructors allow students to discuss assignments but require them to write up their own unique answers; still others prohibit any collaboration at all.

It is the student’s responsibility to understand where the line is between permissible collaboration and independent work. To avoid confusion and possible violations of academic regulations, students must be clear about exactly what may be done collaboratively, and what must be done independently. If the expectations and rules are unstated or unclear, the student must ask the instructor for clarification. If a deadline is imminent and the course policy is unclear, the student must err on the side of working independently.

Regardless, collaborating with another student without indicating the extent of collaboration is considered plagiarism.  Even in courses where collaboration is permitted, the ideas, words, or other intellectual contribution of students with whom one is collaborating are considered an “outside source” which must be clearly acknowledged.
