4.1 Violations of Academic Integrity
The Institute and the AuD program place a high value on intellectual honesty. Likewise, professional integrity in the field of Audiology relies heavily on the foundation of intellectual honesty established during doctoral training. Therefore, violations of academic integrity are considered a very serious matter. Detailed information regarding the definition and response to violations of academic integrity may be found in the Catalog (MGH Institute of Health Professions - Academic Integrity Policy)
4.2 Code of Conduct Violations
Because students are members, and therefore representatives, of the IHP community, appropriate professional and ethical behavior is expected of students at all times. This includes interactions with others on campus, at off-campus clinical placements, and any other location where the student represents the Institute.
See the MGH Institute of Health Professions - Code of Conduct for examples of prohibited conduct and possible sanction, including immediate removal from the program.
