Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty that has serious consequences. You have probably noticed that every syllabus you receive here at Texas A&M University-San Antonio has a statement about plagiarism. Plagiarism is also addressed in the Student Code of Conduct.
If your professor finds too many similarities between your work and other people’s work, you might be accused of plagiarism. If you have committed plagiarism, your professor may fail you on that assignment or the whole course.
If you have been allegedly found violating the Student Code of Conduct regarding academic dishonesty, the incident will be reported to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. A student conduct conference will be held with a Student Conduct representative. If you are found responsible for academic misconduct, sanctions will be placed upon you and may range up to suspension depending on the severity of the incident.
