Policy Statement
Farmingdale State College has a license agreement with SafeAssign, online services that can be used to detect and prevent plagiarism in student assignments. As student papers are academic records that may include personally identifiable information, they are protected by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The following guidelines have been prepared in order to assist faculty with using SafeAssign in a manner that is compliant with FERPA regulations.
Faculty should NOT submit papers to SafeAssign on behalf of students.
Faculty who would like to require students to submit their papers to SafeAssign will include the following notice on their syllabus:
Sample Syllabus Notice for SafeAssign: Students are required to submit written assignments for this class to SafeAssign, a web-based plagiarism detection service that is not affiliated with Farmingdale State College.
