Academic IntegrityFaculty Responsibilities
Faculty members and other instructors are responsible for creating an atmosphere of integrity and honesty in their courses, in their research, and in their other academic interactions. This is accomplished by:- Clearly defining expectations in course syllabi;
- Communicating any course- or discipline-specific scholarly procedures to students;
- Engaging students in robust ways; and
- Reporting concerns about academic misconduct each time such concerns are known.
Student Responsibilities
Students are responsible for creating an atmosphere of integrity and honesty in all assignments, class discussions, research conducted, and other academic work. This is accomplished by:
- Learning and using proper scholarly procedures;
- Scrupulously following directions and asking for clarification when needed; and
- Engaging with course material fully and meeting the spirit of the assignment.
︎︎Accomodations for Students with Disabilities
We support students with a range of physical, sensory, psychological, medical, and learning disabilities, including temporary conditions such as injuries or broken bones.
Depending on the nature of the disability and the particular needs of the student, a variety of supports are available. These can include, but are not limited to:
- Classrooms accommodations (e.g., furniture, materials in alternate formats).
- Exam accommodations (e.g., time-based exam accommodations)
- Auxiliary aids and services (e.g., notetakers, CART services, lecture recordings).
- Non-academic accommodations (e.g., housing, dietary, and parking).
- Introductions and referrals to other campus resources
If you are wondering if a specific kind of accommodation is possible at Tufts, please contact us, and we can work with you on your specific situation.Food Resources
