University Policies

Much work still needs to be done to develop university-wide policies. A good place to begin might be recognizing that the University has an obligation to preserve and pursue its values, the values of scholarship and the integrity of the intellectual life. Therefore, the University will take appropriate disciplinary/legal action in response to instances of plagiarism and/or advertisement of illegal services.

STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

• The submission of term papers or other written material based, in whole, or in part, on ready-made papers or written materials purchased from companies or individuals that market such materials constitutes plagiarism, and is, therefore, cause for disciplinary action, including expulsion, under the provisions of the California Code of Regulations.
• Placement of advertisements pertaining to the substantive preparation, sale, or distribution of any term papers, thesis, dissertation, or other written material is in violation of the California Education Code and shall be prohibited anywhere on the CSUCI campus.
