If you are using information from a previous paper you've written or from a project you've completed in a past assignment or class, it is appropriate to self-cite in order to avoid self-plagiarism. To cite or quote from a previous work you've created, follow examples for citing an unpublished work.

On a related note, please review school policies on reusing work and contact your instructor with any questions.  Links to school policies are also below.
