Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be
personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another
person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty are required to
report any suspected instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic
Judiciary. Faculty in the Health Sciences Center (School of Health
Technology & Management, Nursing, Social Welfare, Dental Medicine)
and School of Medicine are required to follow their school-specific
procedures. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity,
including categories of academic dishonesty,
please refer to the academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/
Stony Brook University expects
students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other
people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of Judicial
Affairs any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach,
compromises the safety of the learning environment, or inhibits students'
ability to learn. Faculty in the HSC Schools and the School of Medicine
are required to follow their school-specific procedures.
