Academic Standards

Academic Policies

Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science must abide by all college policies and procedures as outlined at www.colorado.edu/engineering/academics/advising-and-registration and www.colorado.edu/engineering/academics/policies. Students should refer to these websites often since policies, procedures and forms may be updated throughout the academic year.

Ethics

As members of the academic community, students have a responsibility to conduct themselves with the highest standards of honesty and integrity. These qualities are vital to the profession of engineering.

Academic sanctions (which can affect a course grade) and non-academic sanctions (which may include suspension or expulsion) are imposed for the following acts, or intent to engage in such acts: plagiarism; illegal possession and distribution of examinations or answers to specific questions; the presentation of another student’s work as one’s own; performing work or taking an examination for another student; or the alteration, forging or falsification of official records. This listing is not complete and includes only some types of academic dishonesty. Any student accused by a course instructor of academic dishonesty will be allowed to remain in the course until such time the student acknowledges an act of academic dishonesty or until a hearing has determined that an act of academic dishonesty has been committed. For additional information, see www.colorado.edu/engineering/academics/policies/honesty and the the Honor Code website at honorcode.colorado.edu. See also Academic Integrity and Student Conduct under Campus Policies in the General Information section of this catalog.
