Using Turnitin.com at Indiana University Northwest

Plagiarism is one of the worst forms of Academic Misconduct and is not tolerated at Indiana University Northwest (See the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, p. 13, Section G, Item 3.). To help faculty detect plagiarism and to help students better understand what plagiarism is, the university has made turnitin.com available for use starting in the Fall of 2007.
