Please see the Student Responsibilities Section in Student Success Section of this catalog.
Student conduct that violates both the UT Tyler Honor Code and the FCOP Honor Code may be assessed and managed simultaneously and/or additional sanctions may be imposed through the FCOP Honor Code Violation assessment process.
Fisch College of Pharmacy Honor Code Violations: Suspected academic violations of the honor code are communicated to the FCOP by submitting a copy of the Scholastic Dishonesty Report Form and, if applicable, the Scholastic Dishonesty Report to the FCOP Office of Academic Affairs.
Non-academic violations of the honor code (e.g. respect; honesty and integrity; legal and professional standards; and professionalism and ethical behavior) may be resolved between the faculty member and the student. A copy of the non-academic honor code violation should be submitted to the FCOP Office of Student Affairs. The FCOP Office of Experiential Education should be included on this submission for any violation that involves experiential coursework.
When appropriate, information will be forwarded to the UT Tyler Office of Judicial Affairs and/or the college’s PASC for adjudication.
