Academic Integrity Statement:
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
Academic Integrity
Critical Incident Management Statement:
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.
Student Absences Statement
Students are expected to attend every class, report for
examinations and submit major graded coursework as
scheduled. If a student is unable to attend lecture(s),
report for any exams or complete major graded coursework
as scheduled due to extenuating circumstances, the
student must contact the instructor as soon as possible.
Students may be requested to provide documentation to
support their absence and/or may be referred to the
Student Support Team for assistance. Students will
be provided reasonable accommodations for missed exams,
assignments or projects due to significant illness,
tragedy or other personal emergencies. In the instance
of missed lectures or labs, the student is responsible
for insert course specific information here (examples
include: review posted slides, review recorded lectures,
seek notes from a classmate or identified class note
taker, write lab report based on sample data).
Please note, all students must follow Stony Brook,
local, state and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) guidelines to reduce the risk of
transmission of COVID. For questions or more information
