SafeAssign is a plagiarism detection tool used by Strayer University faculty to check submitted assignments for plagiarism. When students upload an assignment to the Blackboard course shell the assignments submitted will automatically be submitted to SafeAssign to check for plagiarism. Once submitted, you will be given a percentage of the paper (in a Safe Assign Originality Report) that matches other sources. That percentage must be 15% or below to have an acceptable submission. (That would mean that 15% or less of the paper was copied/pasted from another site.)
