3. Academic Standards of Conduct:
All students are expected to abide by the University Honor Statement. In mathematics classes, violations of
the honor statement include copying another person's work on any graded assignment or test, collaborating on a
graded assignment without the instructor's approval, using unauthorized "cheat sheets" or technical devices such
as calculators, cell phones or computers for graded tests or assignments, or other infractions listed in
"Hilltopics". These violations are serious offenses, subject to disciplinary action that may include failure in a
course and/or dismissal from the University. The instructor has full authority to suspend a student from his/her
class, to assign an "F" in an exercise or examination, or to assign an "F" in the course. See "Hilltopics" for
more complete information. A report of all offenses will be sent to appropriate deans and the Office Student
Judicial Affairs for possible further action.
The Honor Statement
An essential feature of the University of Tennessee is a commitment to maintaining an
atmosphere of intellectual integrity and academic honesty. As a student of the University, I
pledge that I will neither knowingly give nor receive any inappropriate assistance in
academic work, thus affirming my own personal commitment to honor and integrity.
