The presentation of another person’s words, ideas, judgment, images, or data as though they
were your own, whether intentionally or unintentionally, constitutes an act of plagiarism. It is
also an offense to submit work for assignments from two different courses that is substantially
the same (be it oral presentations or written work). If there is an overlap of the subject of your
assignment with one that you produced for another course (either in the current or any previous
semester), you MUST inform your professor.
For guidelines on academic honesty, clarification of the definition of plagiarism, examples of
procedures and sanctions, and resources to support proper citation, please see:

Inclusivity Policies and Priorities
NYU’s Office of Global Programs and NYU’s global sites are committed to equity, diversity,
and inclusion. In order to nurture a more inclusive global university, NYU affirms the value of
sharing differing perspectives and encourages open dialogue through a variety of pedagogical
approaches. Our goal is to make all students feel included and welcome in all aspects of
academic life, including our syllabi, classrooms, and educational activities/spaces.
Attendance Rules on Religious Holidays
Members of any religious group may, without penalty, excuse themselves from classes when
required in compliance with their religious obligations. Students who anticipate being absent
due to religious observance should notify their lecturer AND NYU Berlin’s Academics team in
writing via e-mail one week in advance. If examinations or assignment deadlines are scheduled
on the day the student will be absent, the Academics team will schedule a make-up
examination or extend the deadline for assignments. Please note that an absence is only
excused for the holiday but not for any days of travel that may come before and/or after the
holiday. See also University Calendar Policy on Religious Holidays.
Pronouns and Name Pronunciation (Albert and Zoom)
Students, staff, and faculty have the opportunity to add their pronouns, as well as the
pronunciation of their names, into Albert. Students can have this information displayed to
faculty, advisors, and administrators in Albert, Brightspace, the NYU Home internal directory,
as well as other NYU systems. Students can also opt out of having their pronouns viewed by
their instructors, in case they feel more comfortable sharing their pronouns outside of the
classroom. For more information on how to change this information for your Albert account,
please see the Pronouns and Name Pronunciation website.
Students, staff, and faculty are also encouraged, though not required, to list their pronouns,
and update their names in the name display for Zoom. For more information on how to make
this change, please see the Personalizing Zoom Display Names website.
