DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR
- Stony Brook University expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the institution; to observe national, state, and local laws and University regulations; and to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are required to report any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, and/or inhibits students' ability to learn.
-
ACADEMIC IINTEGRITY
- 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. Any suspected instance of academic
dishonesty will be reported to the Academic Judiciary. For more comprehensive
information on academic integrity, including categories of academic
dishonesty, please refer to the academic judiciary website at
