Self-Plagiarism

Self-plagiarism is the presentation of one’s own prior work as if it is new, without appropriate acknowledgement of prior use. No assignment, in whole or in part, that has been completed for another class at Richmont or at any other institution is to be submitted in a course without prior approval of the professor. Students who have a particular research interest are strongly encouraged to build upon that interest in subsequent courses but are to ask professors to what degree previous work may be used in a class. When use of prior work is approved, it must be appropriately cited.
