SamanthaCarter Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If you get flagged for plagiarizing in an Internal, will universities see it and revoke their acceptance of you? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Such a student would not get the diploma. I believe IB does communicate the reason why diploma was not awarded, so universities can see it and choose to revoke acceptances. EDIT: if you mean an internal that is not the IA, they probably won't know. But one should not plagiarize. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw0573 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Please clarify that this is the IA we are talking about. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw0573 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 So if IB suspects that a student plagiarized, they notify the school, and usually the student is allowed to submit a defense statement. This usually happens before the exams. And then IB discuss it over and reaches a conclusion. They only accuse in the first place if they found the document it was plagiarized from. Most cases I've seen if there is copying paragraphs or more without citation. So IB is very cautious in making such accusations but when they do, the universities will be notified through the transcript. I wouldn't stress about it if it's less than a sentence.
