"Academic Dishonesty," Saint Mary's University of Minnesota Catalog and Student Handbook:

Definition. Plagiarism is the inclusion of someone else's words, ideas, or data as one's own. When a student submits work for credit that includes the words, ideas, or data of others, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and specific citations, as well as quotation marks if verbatim statements are included. By placing their name on work submitted for credit, students certify the originality of all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgements.

Consequences. All members of the Saint Mary's University community are responsible for upholding the academic integrity of the institution. Suspicion of academic dishonesty must be reported to the program director. The program director initiates and documents an investigation in conjunction with a dean. The program director will meet with the individual to provide a fair opportunity for response to the allegation. If the program director has reason to believe academic dishonesty has occurred, he/she recommends a sanction to the dean. The dean will render judgement or sanction by instituting the grievance procedure.
