The NWU policy on plagiarism states that plagiarism is a serious academic offense and is defined as presenting someone else's work as your own without proper attribution. Students who are found guilty of plagiarism may face disciplinary action, ranging from receiving a failing grade on the assignment to expulsion from the university. The university has strict guidelines on citing sources and academic integrity, and students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these guidelines to avoid committing plagiarism. It is the responsibility of students to properly cite all sources used in their work and to ensure that they are not plagiarizing in any form.
