Plagiarism is one of academic dishonesty cases that arise in the online and distance education. This study aimed at examining actual plagiarism among students in online distance education in accounting program by investigating the impact of intention to plagiarize as an independent variable and religiosity as a moderating variable. This study used quantitative method and the data was collected using a survey through 249 accounting online distance education students. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive random sampling. Moderated Regression Analysis was implemented to test the hypothesis of this study. This study found that intention to plagiarize has a positive impact on actual plagiarism, while religiosity has a negative impact on intention to plagiarize and actual plagiarism. For the moderating effect, it is found that religiosity moderates the influence of intention to plagiarize on actual plagiarism. This study implies that students should develop their religiosity and it is important for online distance higher education institutions, especially in accounting program, to improve the curriculum that can increase the religious value to the students to minimize plagiarism.
