| Code of Academic Integrity -
August 2005 |
|
| Principle |
| Integrity and ethical behavior are expected of every
student in all academic work. This Academic Integrity
principle stands for honesty in all class work, and
ethical conduct in all labs and clinical assignments.
This principle is furthered by the student Code of
Conduct and disciplinary procedures established by
ABOR Policies 5-308 through 5-404, all provisions of
which apply to all University of Arizona students.
This Code of Academic Integrity (hereinafter "this
Code") is intended to fulfill the requirement
imposed by ABOR Policy 5-403.A.4 and otherwise to supplement
the Student Code of Conduct as permitted by ABOR Policy
5-308.C.1. This Code of Academic Integrity shall not
apply to the Colleges of Law or Medicine, which have
their own honor codes and procedures. |

academic integrity. Students shall observe the generally

integrity and shall notify students of their policy
for the submission of academic work that has previously
been submitted for academic advancement, as well as

faculty member permits collaboration on coursework;
ethical requirements for lab and clinical assignments;
etc.), and make every reasonable effort to avoid situations
conducive to infractions of this Code. |
