CODE OF CONDUCT

Academic dishonesty is not tolerated at the University of New Haven. All students are responsible for reading and understanding the statement on academic honesty in the Student Handbook. Violation of university standards for academic honesty, including plagiarism, will be a sufficient reason for an F in the course and will be reported to the Vice President for Student Affairs and Athletics. A second violation may be cause for expulsion from the university. Plagiarism is defined as the unacknowledged use of another person's work or the submission of the same work for more than one course without express written permission in advance (Undergraduate Catalog 2006 -2008, p. 46; see also: http://www.newhaven.edu/show.asp?durki=2099#Honesty).

Nothing is more disruptive to a class then someone's cell phone going off or, worse yet, someone taking or making a call in class. Please show respect for me and your classmates by turning off your phone before class starts.
