It is the responsibility of every student to be aware of the Academic Conduct Code\u2019s contents and to abide by its provisions.” Access the code at: http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/academics\/policies\/academic-conduct-code\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n In general, academic misconduct is conduct by which students misrepresent their academic accomplishments or impede other students’ opportunities to be judged fairly for their academic work. Students should pay particular attention to the rules regarding plagiarism, group work, submission of work to more than one course without permission, and how they conduct themselves in a professional field-based experience, internship, teaching, or research-related experience. If students have any questions about academic integrity or how it applies to the assignments within a specific course, they should consult their instructor.<\/p>\n (Approved by Faculty Assembly, 2015)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n On Campus<\/p>\n Off Campus<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n All disclosures of sexual or gender-based violence or harassment on or off campus made to faculty, teaching assistants, or other University employees must be reported to the BU Title IX Coordinator (617-353-9286). For more information, consult the Boston University Title IX Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n (Approved by Faculty Assembly, 11\/27\/18)<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Student Services<\/strong> ATLAS Referral Program<\/strong> Student Services will reach out and offer to help you assess your situation and access the support you may need to get back on track. The ATLAS referral program is designed for students enrolled in part-time or full-time programs at BU Wheelock and can be used by professors as often as needed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n If your 4-credit course is scheduled for 2 hours and 45 minutes, once a week, for example, over a typical 15-week semester, you have to identify other ways in which students will work outside of the class meeting time to achieve the learning objectives and outcomes of the course equivalent to an hour and 15 minutes. Please remember that satisfying contact hours is separate from traditional homework assignments or test preparation. It could include student attending conferences with instructor, teaching lessons in the field, participating in online modules, analyzing films, meeting in peer groups, preparing group projects, and visiting local sites related to course content. Faculty members should identify how students can satisfy the additional contact hours.<\/p>\n Below are sample statements to include in your syllabus. Please adjust the time based on course credits and course delivery.<\/p>\n Credit Hour Explanation Sample Statements<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
