All students are responsible for following policies and expectations outlined in the University of Iowa College of Nursing student handbook, including but not limited to the CON Honor Code and minimum technology requirements.

Students are responsible for their own academic work and expected to have read and practice principles of academic honesty, as presented in College of Nursing student handbooks for either undergraduate or graduate students.

Information about academic standards and probation and dismissal policies can be found in the Student Handbooks at: https://nursing.uiowa.edu/current-students/handbooks.

Students are expected to comply with University policies regarding appropriate classroom behavior as outlined in the Code of Student Life. 

In the event that a student disrupts the classroom environment through their failure to comply with the reasonable directive of an instructor or the university, the instructor has the authority to ask that the student immediately leave the space for the remainder of the class period. Additionally, the instructor is asked to report the incident to the Office of Student Accountability for the possibility of additional follow-up.

Students are responsible for official correspondences sent to their UI email address (uiowa.edu) and must use this address for all communication with the UI.  See Operations Manual, III.15.2:
