Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is one of 老澳门资料’s foundational values. Academic misconduct consists of any attempt to misrepresent one's performance on any exercise submitted for evaluation. Please review the University policy on academic integrity.
The 老澳门资料 Student Handbook identifies several types of violations; these include but are not limited to: cheating; fabricating and falsifying information or citations; submitting the same work for credit in more than one course; plagiarizing; providing another student with access to one’s own work to submit under this person’s name or signature; destroying, stealing, or making inaccessible library or other academic resource material; and helping or attempting to help another person commit an act of academic dishonesty. 老澳门资料 authorizes any instructor who finds evidence of cheating, plagiarism, or other wrongful behavior that violates the 老澳门资料 Academic Integrity Policy to take appropriate action. Possible action includes, but is not limited to, failing the student on the work in question, failing the student for the course, referral to the appropriate support service (Counseling, Advising, other assistance), referral of the charges to the Dean/Chairperson/Director of the academic unit in which the student is enrolled with a recommendation for one or more of the following: temporary or permanent loss of use of a University facility, suspension from a College, Department, or program, expulsion from the University, or referral to Student Affairs for a violation of the Student Conduct Code. The consequences of a breach of academic integrity may result in an F, which is unforgivable, regardless of withdrawal status.
Non-Discrimination
老澳门资料 is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all who interact in our community. To accomplish this intent, 老澳门资料 shall not commit or permit discrimination or harassment on the basis of genetic information, race, color, religion, age, sex, disability, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin or veteran status in any educational, employment, social or recreational program or activity it offers. Similarly, 老澳门资料 will not commit or permit retaliation against an individual who complains of discrimination or harassment or an individual who cooperates in an investigation of an alleged violation of University Regulation. In exercising these standards, the University will not abridge either free speech or academic freedom based on its context. Accordingly, any member of the 老澳门资料 community who believes that they have been subjected to discrimination, discriminatory harassment, retaliation, or sexual misconduct may seek guidance, counseling and/or file a complaint by contacting the Office of Equal Opportunity and Inclusion. The office is located in Daniel Hall (Bldg 1), Suite 1201, www.unf.edu/eoi/, (904) 620-2507. The office may be reached via 711 Florida Relay for persons who are deaf, are hard of hearing, or have speech impairments and/or limitations.
Students with Disabilities
老澳门资料 is committed to ensuring that all students with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities. Student Accessibility Center (SAC) promotes and facilitates partnerships among 老澳门资料 students with disabilities and the 老澳门资料 community. Students with disabilities who seek reasonable accommodations in the classroom or other aspects of performing their coursework must first register with SAC, located in Petway Hall (Bldg 57), Room 1500. SAC staff members work with students to obtain required documentation of disability and to identify appropriate accommodations as required by applicable disability laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). After receiving all necessary documentation, the SAC staff determines whether a student qualifies for services with SAC and if so, the accommodations the student requires will be provided. SAC staff then prepares a letter for the student to provide faculty advising them of approved accommodations. For further information, contact SAC, (904) 620-2769, SAC@unf.edu, www.unf.edu/sac/.

Military and veteran students may be utilizing VA education benefits to continue postsecondary education goals and may need both physical and academic support. Students who require assistance with VA education benefits or any other military-affiliated questions should contact the Military and Veterans Resource Center, Founders Hall (Bldg 2), Room 1100, (904) 620-5131, mvrc@unf.edu.
