Code of Conduct

Honesty and integrity are requirements for membership in the Marymount University community. By enrolling in the University, students agree to accept the University Academic and Community Conduct Code and abide by the University’s academic and social regulations.

Violations that may lead to suspension or dismissal from the University include cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes using books, notes, or assistance from other students, or giving such assistance to others while taking quizzes, tests, or examinations, or doing graded assignments, unless such assistance is specifically authorized by the instructor. Plagiarism includes representing the work (words or ideas) of others as one’s own on research papers, homework assignments, essays, and other course assignments. Students should be thoroughly familiar with the Student Handbook, which describes in detail policies and procedures relating to the Academic and Community Conduct Code.

Regulations are published in this catalog, in the Student Handbook, or in both. Regulations may be modified or changed at any time; revisions of regulations, written or oral, will be appropriately promulgated and have the same binding force as those in the catalog or Student Handbook. A student may be subject to disciplinary action for behavior in violation of the Academic and Community Conduct Code or of other University regulations. Please see the Student Handbook for more detailed information on this code.
