SCHOOL OF ART POLICY REGARDING OFFENSIVE MATERIAL
No student is compelled to participate in the presentation or discussion of art that offends him or her. If you are offended by any art materials presented for group discussion or display, or to comments made about them, please make your objections known at the time and arrangements will be made to accommodate you; otherwise, in viewing and discussing works of art, the School of Art encourages the broadest possible tolerance consistent with the laws of the land.

ETHICAL CONDUCT
Old work, or work done for another class may not be submitted to fulfill the requirements of this course. The statement on academic dishonesty, including "Plagiarism and Cheating" and "Examinations - Impersonations" can be found in the University General Calendar. Plagiarism and Cheating Admissions Guide and Form:
“ To plagiarize is to take ideas or words of another person and pass them off as one’s own. In short, it is stealing something intangible rather than an object. Obviously it is not necessary to state the source of well known or easily verifiable facts, but students are expected to acknowledge the sources of ideas and expressions they use in their work.” This applies to diagrams, creative content, statistical tables and the like, as well as to written material, and material or information from Internet sources. To provide and correct documentation is not only an indication of academic honesty but is also a courtesy, which enables the reader to consult these sources with ease. Failure to do so constitutes PLAGIARISM. It will also be considered plagiarism and /or cheating if a student submits a term paper or creative project written or constructed whole or in part by someone rather than her or himself, or copies the answer or answers or creative content of another student in any test, project, examinations or take home assignments. Plagiarism or any other form of cheating is subject to serious academic penalty.
Webster's Dictionary defines plagiarism as stealing and presenting the ideas of another as one's own, or to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. Copying an old master work in to utilize various ideas from various sources is not plagiarism. Misrepresenting someone else’s work as your own is plagiarism.
