Regulations and Procedures
Academic Regulations
Academic and Professional Conduct
All students at Indiana University are responsible for knowing the rules governing academic and personal conduct in the Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct. Code procedures for the Bloomington campus are available at https://studentcode.iu.edu/. The Indiana University Plagiarism Tutorials and Tests website (https://plagiarism.iu.edu/index.html) is a helpful resource for those looking for clarification about these expectations.
Each student is expected to adhere to high professional, ethical, and academic standards, and the Jacobs School of Music may dismiss from its programs any student who fails to do so. In general, it is assumed that all academic work is a student’s original work. Collaboration is sometimes permitted for certain assignments in some courses. Students should always make certain that they understand what an instructor expects for a particular assignment. It is also assumed that material borrowed or quoted from other sources (including books, articles, online sources, etc.) will be acknowledged and cited.
The penalties for academic and personal misconduct are severe and can include dismissal from the university. Students with questions about the rules and the disciplinary procedures for the Bloomington campus are welcome to ask the directors of undergraduate or graduate studies.
