The UAH Administrators require all faculty using Turnitin to include the following policy statement in their syllabus, course policies or assignments. Students must be informed at the beginning of the course that the instructors will be using Turnitin; trying to incorporate it midway through the semester might pose significant problems in terms of students' consent, assignment design or deadlines.
Syllabus Statement:

honesty as defined in the Student Handbook (7.III.A). The instructor
