Rules regarding plagiarism
Jury of the Department of Political Science
Passed on December 1, 2009
Considering that plagiarism is an unacceptable mistake from a legal, ethical and intellectual point of
view;
Conscious that tolerating plagiarism would undermine the reputation of the university and of its
academic and scientific staff and students and endanger the upholding of some pedagogical
principles;
Noting that from their first year on the students have been sensitized to intellectual integrity and
that the library website provides clear information on how to avoid plagiarism;
Reminding that plagiarism does not only limit to borrowing an integral text without using
quotation marks or without mentioning its full bibliographical reference but also includes
borrowing raw data, a freely translated text or paraphrased ideas with no clear mention of the full
reference;
Admitting that no justification, such as medical considerations, the absence of disciplinary record
or the level of education, can constitute a mitigating factor;
Taking note of the article 1 of the Loi relative au droit d’auteur et aux droits voisins of June 30, 1994,
the article 66 of the Règlement des études of July 3, 2006, of the Règlement de discipline relative aux
étudiants of October 5, 1970, and of the article 54 of the Règlement facultaire relatif à l’organisation des
examens of December 9, 2004;
The Jury of the Department of Political Science formally recommends that the students who
commit a proven plagiarism be marked 0 for the entire lecture concerned, with no possibility of
repossession in second session.
