Expectations

When you come to Boise State University, our faculty and staff agree to offer our time and resources in exchange for your commitment to your academic program and success. To ensure that we all know the expectations, the Department, Graduate College, and University have policies in place with which you should be familiar. These policies are outlined in this Graduate Student Handbook, the Boise State University Student Handbook, Boise State University Policies, Student Code of Conduct, Graduate Catalog and Standards and Guidelines for Theses and Dissertations. Please take the time to read and understand these policies.

If questions arise that are not addressed within this handbook or within the policies outlined by Boise State University and the Graduate College, we encourage you to first meet with your Major Advisor. If still unresolved, please contact the Graduate Program Coordinator for further assistance.

Safety

The safety of students, staff, faculty and visitors is of paramount importance to the Department, the College of Engineering, the Graduate College and Boise State University. All students must comply with University policies and with all regulations and procedures while working inside and outside of laboratories. Prior to working in laboratories, safety training must first be completed. In addition to lab-specific training, training topics include general emergency response measures, College of Engineering safety protocols, and University Environmental Health, Safety And Sustainability (EHS&S) policies and programs. If you have any questions about safety-related matters in the College of Engineering, please contact your Major Advisor, the lab safety manager, or the College of Engineering Safety Liaison (208-426-3913).

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core belief of the Department, the College of Engineering, the Graduate College and Boise State University. Cheating, plagiarism, and academic dishonesty in the classroom or in research endeavors are serious offenses that will be addressed. All forms of academic dishonesty can lead to suspension or expulsion from the University. The University Academic Integrity Policy can be found on the registrar's website.
