Academic Standards#

All students must adhere to the Duke Community Standard (DCS): Duke University is a community dedicated to scholarship, leadership, and service and to the principles of honesty, fairness, respect, and accountability. Citizens of this community commit to reflect upon and uphold these principles in all academic and nonacademic endeavors, and to protect and promote a culture of integrity.

To uphold the Duke Community Standard, students agree:

  • I will not lie, cheat, or steal in my academic endeavors.

  • I will conduct myself honorably in all my endeavors; and

  • I will act if the Standard is compromised.

Regardless of course delivery format, it is the responsibility of the student to understand and follow Duke policies regarding academic integrity, (e.g., completing one’s own work, following proper citations of sources, and adhering to guidance around group work, and more). Ignoring these requirements is a violation of the Duke Community Standard. Any questions and/or concerns regarding academic integrity can be directed to the Office or Student Conduct and Community Standards at conduct@duke.edu.

Academic Accommodations#

If you are a student with a disability and need accommodations for this class, it is your responsibility to register with the Student Disability Access Office (SDAO) and provide them with documentation of your disability. The SDAO will work with you to determine what accommodations are appropriate for your situation. Please note that accommodations cannot be provided until the instructor receives a Faculty Accommodation Letter from the SDAO. Contact: sdao@duke.edu
