RICE UNIVERSITY STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

http://www.students.rice.edu/students/Conduct.asp

J GSB students are bound to, and must abide by, the Rice University Student Code of Conduct. As an

academic community, it is necessary for Rice University to articulate and enforce standards of behavior. Such standards are not intended merely to

prohibit misbehavior and to punish violations of regulations, but to educate about behavior and character traits that the community wishes to promote or discourage; to protect members of the community from harm or unwarranted interference; to hold individuals and groups responsible for their actions and the consequences of their behavior; and to cultivate an environment conducive to our community’s primary purpose — education.

HONOR CODE - OVERVIEW

As a student, you are expected to uphold the Honor Code on all of your studies and assignments throughout your time at Rice University. You are ultimately responsible for understanding and abiding by the Honor Code policy as it applies to each course you

take. Some professors require every submission to include the Rice University Honor Pledge in the header of the assignment. http://honor.rice.edu

“Rice expects its students to behave—at all times—reasonably, respectfully and responsibly.”

“On my Honor, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on this [exam/paper/etc.]”

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES – HONOR CODE

1. Do not violate the Honor Code • Interpretation varies across professors; therefore, it is the student’s responsibility to clarify any

ambiguities with the professor. • Ignorance is not a defense for an Honor Code violation. • Assignments that are termed “non-pledged” are still covered under the Honor Code but may have

more open rules than “pledged” assignments. • Failure to cite the source(s) of ideas or quotations is plagiarism.

2. Do not aid in a violation • Do not give answers on exams or other pledged assignments to other students who have not

completed these assignments. • Do not discuss pledged assignments before the due date. • Make sure you leave your exams and other assignments in secure locations. • Aiding another person’s violation is a violation of the Honor Code. Allowing someone to

copy your work may be treated similarly to copying someone else’s work.

3. Report any suspected violations to the Honor Council

Not only have you agreed to follow the Code by coming to Rice, but also enforce it. • Report all suspected violations directly to the Honor Council. • Submit any evidence that you have collected to support your accusation to the Honor Council. • Do not report violations to the professor of the course. • The accuser’s identity is not revealed unless the matter proceeds past investigation to a hearing.

The accuser’s identity is revealed at the hearing. • The identity of the accused student(s) will never be revealed to the student body, regardless of the

case’s verdict. • If you think you have personally violated the Code, report yourself. This does happen, and it is

looked on very favorably by the Council and usually results in a highly reduced penalty.

For more information regarding the Honor Code, please reference: http://honor.rice.edu.

CASHIER / PAYMENT

https://esther.rice.edu/ ESTHER > Student Service and Account Information > “Payment Suite” button All MBA students are expected to pay tuition each enrollment term by the payment deadline. Please contact the Office of the Cashier with any questions regarding your bill at [email protected] or 713-348-4946. Failure to pay your entire bill by the due date will result in a late payment fee. Additionally, accounts that are past due will result in a hold on your account, which will prevent you from registering for courses. Students cannot delay tuition payment while waiting for tuition reimbursement from their company. If necessary, please either set up a payment plan (see below) or seek student loans to bridge the gap between payment due dates and company reimbursements. For those who need to submit grades to their company for reimbursement, grades are typically available approximately 4-6 weeks after the end of the term. Billing statements – Billing statements are generated electronically and are available via your Esther account (http://esther.rice.edu); once the e-bill has been generated, you will be notified via your Rice email address. If someone other than yourself will be making your tuition payments, you can set them up as authorized users in the Bill Payment Suite, accessible via your ESTHER account.

“Failure to resolve an outstanding balance with the Office of the Cashier may result in withdrawal from Rice University by the Office of Enrollment.”
