In the academic policies section of the Statement of Student Rights and Code of Student Conduct, available online at: http://www.umd.umich.edu/policies/conduct_code.htm#academic.

In addition, your instructor may have his or her own statement about plagiarism.   This should be found in your course syllabus.   If it is not, then you may wish to ask the teacher if he or she has a policy for the course.  The statement may typically include a list of acts that count as academic dishonesty, including but not limited to the following:

• Cheating
• Fabrication
• Bribery offered for grades, transcripts, or diplomas
• Obtaining or giving aid on an examination
• Having unauthorized prior knowledge of an examination
• Doing the work of another student
• Presenting another student's work as your own
• Plagiarism

If you see any of these activities taking place among your fellow students, or anyone encourages you to engage in any of the activities listed above, you should let your instructor know.  The penalties for engaging in these activities may affect your current and future academic career.
