11. Special course requirements
.12. Classroom etiquette policy
University policy requires that in order to enhance and maintain a productive atmosphere for education, personal communication devices, such as cellular phones and laptops, are to be disabled in class sessions.
13. Disability policy statement
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), students who
require special accommodation due to a disability to properly execute
coursework must register with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) and follow
all SAS procedures. SAS has offices across three of FAUs campuses Boca
Raton, Davie and Jupiter however disability services are available for
students on all campuses.14. Honor code policy
Students at Դɼ are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards. Academic dishonesty is considered a serious breach of these ethical standards, because it interferes with the university mission to provide a high quality education in which no student enjoys unfair advantage over any other. Academic dishonesty is also destructive of the university community, which is grounded in a system of mutual trust and place high value on personal integrity and individual responsibility. Harsh penalties are associated with academic dishonesty. See University Regulation 4.001 at
