University of Florida Orange Book
“Student Honor Code and Student Conduct Code”, regulation 4.040
The University Orange Book encompasses comprehensive guidelines on student behavior, emphasizing academic integrity, ethical conduct, and responsible use of resources. Adherence to these principles is mandatory for maintaining the standards of our academic community. For more information, you can find the University Orange Book here.
The University of Florida expects students to be honest in all of their university coursework. Therefore, students must commit themselves to academic honesty by signing the following statement as part of the admissions process.
“I understand that the University of Florida expects its students to be honest in all of their academic work. I agree to adhere to this commitment to academic honesty and understand that my failure to comply with this commitment may result in disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion from the University.”
This statement serves to remind students of the obligations they assume as students at the University of Florida. Matters of pure violations of academic honesty are adjudicated according to University regulations by the Health Science Center Student Conduct Committee.
Students are expected to adhere to the UF Student Honor Code for all courses and rotations, committing to the principle: “On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.” For detailed information, refer to UF Regulation 4.040 and the specific course/clerkship syllabi.
For matters involving a question of academic honesty, if the student and School of PA Studies Director do not agree on an outcome, the student can exercise his/her right to a hearing with the Health Science Center Student Conduct Committee. This will be conducted through Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution in the Dean of Students office. Please visit the link to view a copy of the violations and procedures that will be followed.
