Community Expectations and Processes

Academic Integrity

Northeastern University is committed to the principles of intellectual honesty and integrity.  All students are expected to adhere to the University’s Academic Integrity Policy and to maintain complete honesty in all academic work, presenting only that which is their own work in tests and assignments. If you have any questions regarding proper attribution of the work of others, contact your professor prior to submitting work for evaluation.


The Code of Student Conduct

The purpose of the Code of Student Conduct is to set forth the University’s expectations of behavior that promote the safety and welfare of the Northeastern University community. The Code of Student Conduct applies to all registered Northeastern University students at all levels of study, in all colleges and programs, locally or abroad who are enrolled at Northeastern University, as well as all student groups and organizations. Students on co-op are also expected to abide by the Code of Student Conduct. The Code of Student Conduct applies on campus as well as off campus.


The Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR)

Students who violate the University Academic Integrity Policy or the Code of Student Conduct may be subject to referral to The Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution.


Personal/Medical Emergencies

If you experience a personal or medical emergency during the exam period which impacts your ability to sit for an in-class exam or to complete a take-home exam, you should contact the Office of Academic and Student Affairs, at lawstudentaffairs@northeastern.edu as soon as possible to make appropriate arrangements.  Please note that documentation may be required.  To preserve anonymity on exams, please do not contact your professor.
