| Academic Honesty: | |||||
| In the process of enrolling and registering for
classes at the University of Florida, every student has signed and
presumably understands the following statement: "I understand that
the University of Florida expects its students to be honest in all
their academic work. I agree to adhere to this commitment to
academic honesty and understand that failure to comply with this
commitment may result in disciplinary action up to and including
expulsion from the University." The following information will be
placed on examinations. On my honor, I have neither given nor
received unauthorized aid on this examination. | |||||
| Use of Library, Personal References, PC Programs and Electronic Databases: | |||||
| These items are university property and
should be utilized with other users in mind. Never remove, mark,
modify nor deface resources that do not belong to you. If you're in
the habit of underlining text, do it only on your personal copy. It
is inconsiderate, costly to others, and dishonest to use common
references otherwise. | |||||
| Software Use: | |||||
| All faculty, staff and students of the
University are required and expected to obey the laws and legal
agreements governing software use. Failure to do so can lead to
monetary damages and/or criminal penalties for the individual
violator. Because such violations are also against University
policies and rules, disciplinary action will be taken as
appropriate. We, the members of the University of Florida community,
pledge to hold ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of
honesty and integrity. | |||||
| UF Counseling Services: | |||||
| Resources are available on-campus for students having personal problems or lacking clear career and academic goals which interfere with their academic performance. These resources include: | |||||
