Self-plagiarism rules.

Self-plagiarism - submitting the same work twice - is plagiarism in most Canadian universities.

Submitting parts of a previous paper requires disclosure and permission.

When in doubt, ask both professors.

Method and literature review reuse in a thesis usually requires acknowledgement.

Citation of your own prior work is the cleanest path.

Check your academic calendar for specific policies.

Penalties are comparable to other plagiarism.
