  • WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SCHOLARLY CONDUCT

    VSU expects all students to meet high standards of academic conduct, and this is particularly true of graduate students.  Graduate students have been through the experience of completing undergraduate degree programs, and they should be familiar with the expected standards of conduct within academe.  Some of the key principles relating to these standards are found in the Thesis and Dissertation Guide.  Students may also consult individual program standards. See http://www.valdosta.edu/academic/AcademicHonestyatVSU.shtml for additional information.
