• Plagiarism Policy for Instructors
  The campus judicial system at IUB, which covers both academic and personal misconduct, is governed by two related documents. The first is the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, which is a system-wide set of policies that applies to all campuses. As its name implies, it sets out the rights and expectations for all IU students. The second document is the Procedures at IU Bloomington. This applies only to the Bloomington campus. Clicking on the above link will take you to the section of the code that deals with plagiarism and instructors. The actual plagiarism reporting form can be found here at the Student Ethics site.
