Honor Code and Students Rights

While all students sign the honor code, there are still specific skills most students need to master over time in order to correctly cite sources, especially in this new age of internet; as well as deal with the stress and strain of college life without resorting to cheating.  Please know that your professor will notice instances of cheating on exams or plagiarizing on papers.  See honorcode.byu.edu  for specific examples of intentional, inadvertent plagiarism, fabrication, and falsification.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination against any participant in an educational program or activity that receives federal funds.  The act is intended to eliminate sex discrimination in education.  Title IX covers discrimination in programs, admission, activities, and student sexual harassment.  BYU's policy against sexual harassment extends not only to employees of the university but to students as well.  If you encounter unlawful sexual harassment or gender based discrimination, please talk to your professor; contact the Equal Employment Office at 422-5392 or 367-5689 (24 hour); or contact the Honor Code Office at 422-2847.

Brigham Young University is committed to providing a working and learning atmosphere which reasonably accommodates qualified persons with disabilities.  If you have any disability which may impair your ability to complete a course successfully, please contact the Services for Students with Disabilities Office (422-1767).  Reasonable academic accommodations are reviewed for all students who have qualified documented disabilities.  Services are coordinated with the student and instructor by the SSD office.  If you need assistance or if you feel you have been unlawfully discriminated against on the basis of disability, you may seek resolution through the established grievance policy and procedures.  You should contact the Equal Employment Office at 422-5895, D-282 ASB.
