Transition with Purpose: Pathways from English Language to Academic Study

73 Following are sections of the Code of Student Conduct with which you may already be familiar, as these standards apply to all IELP and PSU students. Some of these standards were presented and discussed in your American Culture and Life (ACAL) class, the required course that students take in their first term in the IELP. Although you will not study this document in your PSU academic classes, your professors do expect you to adhere to the information below. Section V is presented in its entirety and Article 9: Academic Misconduct, is highlighted to emphasize that academic honesty and integrity are fundamental to a university’s ability to ensure that the education students receive, and that the degree that they earn is a record of their personal and individual achievement. The work that you submit throughout your time at PSU must be your own. Source: https://www.pdx.edu/dos/psu-student-code-conduct , February 9, 2018, © Portland State University 2018.
