(16,078 posts)"When you fail to cite your sources, or when you cite them inadequately, you are plagiarizing,
which is taken extremely seriously at Harvard. Plagiarism is defined as the act of either
intentionally OR unintentionally submitting work that was written by someone else. If you turn
in a paper that was written by someone else, or if you turn in a paper in which you have included
material from any source without citing that source, you have plagiarized. As you begin your
Harvard career, it's important to take the time to understand what constitutes plagiarism, why
plagiarism is considered such a serious offense, and how to avoid plagiarizing in your own
writing"
Citation: Avoiding Plagiarism under The Harvard Guide on Using Sources
Bold added for emphasis
Then we have this.....
"Students who, for whatever reason, submit work either not their own or without clear attribution
to its sources will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including requirement to withdraw
from the College"
Nowhere does it say, you are permitted to go back later and add the citations and quotes and all is forgiven
