At Lyman Briggs College, we have a tradition of upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. The Office of the Registrar's Academic Programs Catalog is the primary source for academic regulations, policies, and procedures.
Academic Honesty
Recent times have ushered in greater demands on students, new avenues for cheating (Internet, text messaging, etc.), and an increased desire by honest students to get appropriate credit for their work. Lyman Briggs College and the Student Advisory Council have worked together to make academic honesty a source of pride. Please take a look at the policy documents for Student Rights and Responsibilities, Integrity of Scholarship and Grades, and Academic Integrity for more information about academic honesty at Briggs.
Academic Grievance Policy
Lyman Briggs College takes student academic complaints and grievances seriously and has a number of processes in place to ensure that complaints are addressed appropriately and in a timely manner. This policy is meant for academic grievances only. Grievances based on sexual harassment, gender, race, disability, age, or other protected categories are best directed to the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Education and Compliance or the Office of the University Ombudsperson.
