Promoting community, civility, and accountability

The Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity (SCAI), works to ensure that FIU is a “safe and stimulating environment in which scholarship and personal growth may occur.” (Code, pg. 1). SCAI is tasked with administering the application of FIU Regulation 2501, the Student Conduct and Honor Code (Code) in a fair and developmental manner. Through the application of the Code, the safety and growth of community members is protected, and the integrity of an FIU degree is preserved.

Student Conduct and Honor Code

Being a contributing Student also comes with responsibility to adhere to the Student Conduct and Honor Code. The ultimate responsibility for knowing University requirements and regulations rests with the Student, regardless of institutional or program affiliation. Nothing in this Regulation should be interpreted to abridge the right of any member of the University community of rights granted under the United States or Florida Constitution and/or any other applicable law including, but not limited to, the freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment. (Code, pg.1).
   
Each Student shall be responsible for their conduct from the time that they have been notified of admission through the actual awarding of a degree, including the academic year and during periods between terms of actual enrollment. The Code shall apply to a Student’s conduct even if the Student withdraws from the University or is academically dismissed, while a conduct matter is pending, or if the conduct is not discovered until after a Student has withdrawn, been academically dismissed, or a degree has been awarded. (Code, pg. 1)
   
For information regarding how FIU addresses sexual misconduct and sexual harassment, please see FIU Regulation 105 or contact the Office of Civil Rights Compliance and Accessibility at ocrca@fiu.edu.
