Academic Integrity Statement:

“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.

In instances where academic standards may have been compromised, Clemson University has a

responsibility to respond appropriately to charges of violations of academic integrity.”

Please refer to the current Graduate School Policy Handbook for the graduate academic integrity

policy.
