Discipline and Academic Integrity Policies

All students in the College are expected to adhere to the University's expectations of good citizenship and to abide by its standards for academic integrity. A breach of either of these behavioral or academic standards can require the Dean of Students in the College to convene the Committee on College Discipline. This Committee has the power to impose sanctions ranging from probation to suspension or expulsion.

Discipline

Students are expected to be familiar with the University's standards for student conduct, including the University policy on sexual harassment, use of technology, safety and use of facilities, and the use of alcohol and other drugs.

Academic Honesty

Students must have a thorough understanding of the University's standards for academic honesty. Presentation of the words or ideas of another as one's own is plagiarism and constitutes a serious offense. Students who are confused or unsure about how to make proper citations should consult with their instructors for guidance.
