Code of Conduct
and Discipline

Code of Conduct and Discipline
(PPS 1027 UST Student Handbook)
Honesty
 The Thomasian puts high premium on the
practice of honesty - the act of truth-telling, truth
seeking, truth-doing.
You are dishonest if you commit the following:
 Forge, alter or misuse University documents,
records, credentials or effects
 Print, disseminate false information to or about
the university
 Cheat in examinations and other school works
 Plagiarize
 Theft or stealing of school or students’ properties
 Engage in other acts similar to the above

Honesty
 Honesty requires that one looks at all the
facts.
 Communication & Conduct are the two
keystones of honesty. Communication
requires that one does not stay willingly
blind. Candor, openness, and truthfulness
lead to understanding.
 Understanding leads to conduct that is
becoming of an honest person.

Honesty
 Cheating, stealing, sneaky behavior,
deceitfulness are acts that demean one
character.
 An honest person will not keep silent
when silence is intended to cause another
person to believe something that is not
true.

Courtesy
 an act of respect towards another
 a sign of maturity
 observance creates a climate of goodwill and
fellowship

oneself.
• The ethical duty is to treat everyone with
respect – not to respect everyone in the

well-being of each is a moral end in

gratification.

gentleman, not because
you are one, but
because I am one”
