Code of Conduct & Academic Integrity
As a Cornell SCE registrant, you're considered a Cornell student and are subject to the general regulations governing student conduct that apply to all other students of the university, with slight modifications to cover the special circumstances of the course or program in which you're enrolled.
In addition, some special programs may have more restrictive policies; contact your program director for information.
Regulations and codes of conduct and academic integrity are products of extensive deliberation involving students and members of the faculty and administration. Statements of standards and regulations are necessary to ensure maximum individual freedom and the effective functioning of the university as an educational institution.
