Ethics Requirement and Links to Approved Plans
In 2012, the Commission on Graduate Studies and Policies (now the Commission on Graduate and Professional Studies and Policies) proposed requiring degree-granting departments and programs to provide all graduate students training in ethics and scholarly integrity. The resulting policy was approved through governance and went into effect in Fall 2014.
All degree-granting academic units developed implementation plans to ensure students received the required training, which were approved by the Graduate School. The departments monitor student progress and verify completion of the requirement with Graduate School through each graduate student’s Plan of Study. Students in non-degree granting interdisciplinary programs will follow the ethics and integrity plans of their home departments.
You'll find a link to an example of a scholarly ethics and integrity plan below. We also provide a link to the policy governing the requirement.
You will find links to pdf versions of the approved ethics plans below.
