The UMD Educational Policy Committee has requested that each UMD course syllabus contain the following statements regarding (1) academic dishonesty and (2) student conduct, including classroom conduct:
(1) Statement on Academic Integrity Policy. Academic dishonesty tarnishes UMDs reputation and discredits the accomplishments of students. UMD is committed to providing students every possible opportunity to grow in mind and spirit. This pledge can only be redeemed in an environment of trust, honesty, and fairness. As a result, academic dishonesty is regarded as a serious offense by all members of the academic community. In keeping with this ideal, the students in this course are expected to adhere to UMDs Student Academic Integrity Policy, which can be found at www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/integrity. This policy sanctions students who engage in academic dishonesty with penalties up to and including expulsion from the university for repeat offenders.
(2) Statement on Student Conduct, Including Classroom Conduct. The instructor will enforce and students are expected to follow the Universitys Student Conduct Code, which can be found at .d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/code. Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an environment of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructors ability to teach, or student learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior includes inappropriate use of technology in the classroom. Examples of inappropriate technology in the classroom include ringing cell phones, sending and/or receiving text-messaging or email, playing computer games, surfing the Internet on your computer instead of paying attention and taking notes or otherwise participating appropriately in instructor-sanctioned activities.
