According to the Shenandoah University Academic Integrity Code, plagiarism is defined as a:
"Presentation, oral or written, or copying of the language, structure, ideas, facts, data, or thoughts of another person without proper acknowledgment, or submitting purchased work, or misrepresenting another’s work as one’s own ..."
YES! Re-using whole or part of a previous work that you have written without giving credit for that previous work is plagiarism.
If you use your previous work in your writing, cite yourself just like any other source.
The Writing Center seeks to develop more able student writers through one-to-one instruction in pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing. The conferences between students and the Writing Center staff, either face-to-face or online, work to enable students to learn productive habits in pre-writing, drafting, revising, and editing.
