It's the act of passing off someone else's work as your own, as when you do a quick cut and paste from a web site into your own document, and neglect to give attribution to your sources. Plain and simple, it's a form of theft or cheating, and according to our Code of Conduct for Learners, plagiarism is an offence for which a student can be disciplined or exited from his or her program.

But it doesn't have to happen. To avoid charges of plagiarism, simply learn to document ("cite") your sources. Your learning manager may prescribe a particular style guide that sets out the "how-to" rules, or you may choose one that suits you and your subject area.
