Academic Integrity
As members of the Clemson University community, we have inherited
Thomas Green Clemson's vision of this institution as a high seminary
of learning. Fundamental to this vision is a mutual commitment to
truthfulness, honor, and responsibility, without which we cannot earn
the trust and respect of others. Furthermore, we recognize that
academic dishonesty detracts from the value of a Clemson degree.
Therefore, we shall not tolerate lying, cheating, or stealing in any
form.
Disability Access
It is University policy to provide, on a flexible and individualized
basis, reasonable accommodations to students who have disabilities.
Students are encouraged to contact Student Disability Services to
discuss their individual needs for accommodation.
