UO's Student Conduct Code
This UO policy defines plagiarism and how AI can be considered plagiarism. Please reference it to stay up to date with how the university approaches student use.
What is Plagiarism?
Presenting another’s material as one’s own, including using another’s words, results, processes or ideas, in whole or in part, without giving appropriate credit. Plagiarism is contingent on the content of the submitted work product, regardless of whether the unattributed material was included intentionally or unintentionally. The use of material taken from any source—whether directly quoted, paraphrased, or otherwise adapted—must be attributed to that source.
Plagiarism and Generative Artificial Intelligence
Plagiarism also includes the submission of material generated by others. This may include:
Artificial intelligence (AI) content generators and generative AI tools such as ChatGPT
Websites with a question-and-answer feature, such as Course Hero, Chegg, and Bing
Assistance from tutors or online language translators that results in unoriginal work; and
Work that is purchased or otherwise prepared by another individual.
