Ethics

As a student of Felician University, I will abide by all rules and regulations published by the University, and agree that I am subject to the jurisdiction of all-disciplinary panels and procedures established by the University to address violations of rules or the honor code. All assignments I submit to the professor and all tests I take shall be solely performed by me, except where the professor has requested that I participate in a group project. I will not submit work that is plagiarized or otherwise violates copyright laws of the United States of America.

As a user of the Internet courses of Felician University, I will respect the privacy of other users, respect the integrity of the computer systems and other user’s data. It is my responsibility to respect the copyright protection of licensed computer software. I will not intentionally obstruct, disrupt or interfere with the teaching and learning occurring on the web site, through computer “hacking” or any other nefarious methods. I understand I will be held liable for monetary damages for any such wrongful actions I undertake, and agree to the venue located in the State of New Jersey. I will not harass, stalk, threaten, abuse, insult, or humiliate any student, professor or administrator using the University computer system or any other computer system utilized by Felician University. This includes, but is not limited to demeaning written or oral comments of an ethnic, sexist, or racist nature, and unwanted sexual advances or intimidation.

As a member of the University community, I am held accountable not only for upholding civil and criminal laws, but the Felician University standards as well. Enrollment does not confer either immunity or special consideration with reference to civil and criminal laws. Disciplinary action by the University will not be subject to postponement on the grounds that criminal charges involving the same incident have been dismissed, reduced, or are pending in a civil or criminal court. In addition, Felician University reserves the right to pursue disciplinary action if a student violates a standard and withdraws from the University before administrative action is final.
