Academic Integrity: Missouri State University is a community of scholars committed to developing
educated persons who accept the responsibility to practice personal and academic integrity. You are
responsible for knowing and following the universitys student honor code, Student Academic Integrity
Policies and Procedures, available at www.missouristate.edu/policy/academicintegritystudents.htm and
also available at the Reserves Desk in Meyer Library. Any student participating in any form of academic
dishonesty will be subject to sanctions as described in this policy.
Policy on Use of Cell Phones in Classes: As a member of the learning community, each student has a
responsibility to other students who are members of the community. When cell phones or pagers ring
and students respond in class or leave class to respond, it disrupts the class. Therefore, the Office of the
Provost prohibits the use by students of cell phones, pagers, PDAs, or similar communication devices
during scheduled classes. All such devices must be turned off or put in a silent (vibrate) mode and
ordinarily should not be taken out during class. Given the fact that these same communication devices
are an integral part of the Universitys emergency notification system, an exception to this policy would
occur when numerous devices activate simultaneously. When this occurs, students may consult their
devices to determine if a university emergency exists. If that is not the case, the devices should be
immediately returned to silent mode and put away. Other exceptions to this policy may be granted at the
discretion of the instructor.
