Re-Use or Repurposing Prior Assignments

Re-use: Learners who are retaking the same course may use work submitted in a previous iteration of the course in its entirety without penalty. Learners who intend to submit past work in its entirety must notify the current instructor/faculty mentor if they are retaking the course and plan to submit prior work and discuss any recommendations before submission. As with every task, learners must uphold academic integrity; therefore, they can only re-use work that is original to them. Resubmission does not guarantee that the grade earned on prior submission will be equaled or improved. If a faculty mentor is not made aware of work being re-used, the faculty mentor will treat the assignment as plagiarized work and reserves the right to post an F grade for the assignment.

Repurposing: Learners may not repurpose previously submitted coursework from a different course unless it is specified in the assignment instructions. This includes part of a paper or excerpts from a previously graded paper for an assignment from another class. Exception: Doctoral students may use work developed as part of their doctoral project in multiple courses as they develop their doctoral project manuscript.
