Copyright and Plagiarism Policy

LCVA is a Christian organization and expects academic honesty from all students and employees. Violations may result in a zero being earned on the assignment, an "F" being earned for the course, dismissal from the academy without a tuition refund, or even the loss of a job for an employee. Students must submit their own work. Incidents of academic dishonesty should be immediately reported to the Principal.

Sevenstar encourages students, parents, and employees to read more from the documents below, which provide comprehensive explanations and examples of the correct and the incorrect ways to use and cite the work of others. Using the work of others is important in learning, but it must be done with proper citation techniques.
