Student Code of Ethics

 

     Students enrolled in classes in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders are
expected to maintain the highest standards of integrity and ethical principles.  The department
subscribes to the American Speech Language and Hearing Association code of Ethics (see the Clinical
Procedures Manual, p. A-2) and the Texas Woman's University Student Conduct Policies outlined
in the TWU Student Handbook (see Chapter 4: Student Conduct Policies, p.73) and expects students
to adhere to these codes and policies.  Copies of both documents are located in the department office.
Students are advised to read and understand all sections of the Code of Ethics and the Student
Handbook relating to standards of conduct and academic life.

     Academic dishonesty, as defined by the TWU Student Handbook, "includes cheating, plagiarism,
falsifying academic records, and any other acts intentionally designed to provide unfair advantage
to the student or the attempt to commit such acts."  Academic dishonesty may result in the
immediate dismissal from the department and/or class.  Depending on the nature of the offense,
the department reserves the right to dismiss any student from the program.

 

 

     I have read the above referenced Code of Ethics for the Department of Communication Sciences
and Disorders and agree to abide by them.
