Academic Honesty
The traditional concepts concerning academic integrity are standards, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, aid of academic dishonesty, lying, bribery, threat, and sanctions. Students should consult with their instructors regarding specific standards or procedures appropriate in each given field. Infractions of academic honesty policies are under the jurisdiction of the Honor Code Council, and are governed by the Laws of the Regents, Article 4a5 and 5e5 (b).

Some tests and workbooks involve minimal additional costs.
Center for Multicultural Affairs
The Center for Multicultural Affairs (CMA) is a resource, referral, and counseling center that works to increase the retention/persistence of all students, with a particular focus on diverse students. A few of the programs offered by CMA are the Diversity Education Team, People of Color Film Series, Parents As Partners, peer counseling, Collegiate Leadership Development Program, and the White Antelope Memorial Scholarship.
Classroom Behavior Policy
Students have a right to learn and a responsibility to participate in the learning process.
Students and course instructors share a responsibility for maintaining an appropriate and orderly learning environment, and course instructors have a right to articulate clear expectations in this regard.
Closing Campus
Hazardous storms and other emergencies occasionally force the campus to close. Closures for emergencies that occur at night normally are announced by 6:00 a.m. Daytime closures or evacuations are announced as decisions are made. Information on the nature of the emergency and any necessary instructions will be posted on the CU-Boulder website and sent via campus text alerts.
