Institutional statement: Tarleton State University expects
its students to maintain high standards of personal and scholarly
conduct. Students guilty of academic dishonesty are subject to
disciplinary action. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not
limited to, cheating on an examination or other academic work,
plagiarism, collusion, and the abuse of resource materials. The
faculty member is responsible for initiation action for each case of
academic dishonesty that occurs in their class.
Instructor statement: Cheating, plagiarism (submitting another
person's materials or ideas as one's own), or doing work for another
person who will receive academic credit are all impermissible. This includes the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other
sources in order to secure or give help during an examination; the
unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports, or term
papers; turning in a paper or project previously used in another
course; or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were
the student's own work. Any student caught cheating will
receive a grade of "F" for the class. Further disciplinary
action may be taken beyond the Department of Performing Arts. Cheating is serious business and the penalties for engaging in this sort of activity will be severe. Consult the following link for further information on academic conduct:

Academic Affairs Core Values in the Classroom
Academic Integrity
Tarleton State University's core values are
integrity, leadership, tradition, civility, excellence, and
service. Central to these values is integrity, which is
maintaining a high standard of personal and scholarly conduct.
Academic integrity represents the choice to uphold ethical
responsibility for one’s learning within the academic community,
regardless of audience or situation.
Academic Civility
Students are expected to interact with professors
and peers in a respectful manner that enhances the learning
environment. Professors may require a student who deviates from
this expectation to leave the face-to-face (or virtual)
classroom learning environment for that particular class session
(and potentially subsequent class sessions) for a specific
amount of time. In addition, the professor might consider the
university disciplinary process (for Academic Affairs/Student
Life) for egregious or continued disruptive behavior.
Academic Excellence
Tarleton holds high expectations for students to
assume responsibility for their own individual learning.
Students are also expected to achieve academic excellence by:
· honoring Tarleton’s core values.
· upholding high standards of habit and behavior.
· maintaining excellence through class attendance
and punctuality.
· preparing for active participation in all
learning experiences.
· putting forth their best individual effort.
· continually improving as independent learners.
· engaging in extracurricular opportunities that
encourage personal and academic growth.
· reflecting critically upon feedback and
applying these lessons to meet future challenges.
Academic Affairs - Service Learning Opportunity –
March 21, 2024
In support of Tarleton’s core value of service,
each student is expected to participate in a service-learning
experience as a part of the Spring term’s week of service. This
experience will challenge students to be engaged in the local
community, address a community need, connect course objectives
to the world around you, and involve structured student
reflection. In this service-learning experience, you will not
only enhance your knowledge and skills, but actively use those
skills as you serve your community.
