Academic Honesty

Statement of Understanding between Professor and Student

Every student must respect the right of all to have an equitable opportunity to learn and honestly demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students must adhere to a standard of academic conduct, demonstrating respect for themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University.

As a student taking this class:

• I will not represent someone else's work as my own.
• I will not cheat, nor will I aid in another's cheating.
• I will be honest in my academic endeavors.
• I understand that if I am found responsible for academic misconduct, I will be subject to the academic misconduct procedures and sanctions as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Failure to adhere to the guidelines stated above may result in one of the following:

• Expulsion: Permanent separation of the student from the University, preventing readmission to the institution. This sanction shall be recorded on the student’s transcript.
• Suspension: Temporary separation of the student from the University for a specific period of time.

By taking this online course, I promise to adhere to FIU's Student Code of Academic Integrity. For details on the policy and procedures go to ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT.
