Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a serious offense in HCTC. Plagiarism is defined as copying/stealing and passing of someone else’s ideas or words without crediting the source, or committing literary theft.

Plagiarism can result in punishments such as a failing grade on the particular assignment, the entire course, or even being expelled from the institution.
