All students entering Boston University are expected to maintain high standards of academic honesty and integrity. It is the responsibility of every student to be aware of the Academic Conduct Code’s contents and to abide by its provisions. The Academic Conduct Committee of the individual school or college, which is composed of students, faculty, and staff, has jurisdiction over all charges of academic misconduct brought against students in its courses.
In all charges of academic misconduct against a student, the student is entitled to procedural fairness in any disciplinary proceedings. The Academic Conduct Code details the guidelines governing disciplinary proceedings. It also defines violations of the Code and enumerates penalties applicable under the Code.
