SUNY Oswego expects students to be responsible, ethical and professional in all work environments consistent with the guidelines for on-campus behavior as expressed in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct (https://www.oswego.edu/student-handbook/), including adherence to federal, state and local laws and the field placement site. Students who engage in experiential placements, both on and off-campus, such as internships, student teaching, practica, volunteer services, service learning, and field-based independent studies are participating in SUNY Oswego-sponsored programs and thus, are subject to the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct. Misconduct, poor judgment, and inappropriate actions in any work or volunteer placement may subject the student to dismissal. SUNY Oswego in such circumstances has no obligation to reassign a student. 

Teacher candidates charged with violations of criminal law will be immediately suspended from participation in the field placement and from the teacher education program until the case is settled or a determination has been made that the situation does not affect performance in the placement or program.
