All faculty are required to include the following plagiarism statement on every course syllabus:

Academic Integrity

Using another person’s words or unique ideas without citing the source in a submitted assignment for a course is plagiarism. As intellectual theft and academic dishonesty, it signifies a lack of the moral integrity required of theology students and seminarians. The School Handbook (Chapter VII, Section H) details the academic and institutional consequences for plagiarism, which can include dismissal from the school. All students are required to be familiar with and abide by this policy. In all cases of plagiarism by a seminarian, the incident will be reported to the sponsoring diocese or religious institute.
