Mission
The Office of Athletic Academic Services is committed to providing a
vast amount of services and resources that aid student-athletes in maintaining
excellence both in the classroom and on the playing surface. The AAC
will play an integral role in the academic success of Texas State student-athletes.
Vision
Texas State Athletic Academic Center envisions a strong athletic academic
brand that is highly visible and promotes the goals, objectives and
strategies of the university to establish Texas State University as
high academic and athletic value for students.
Texas
State Honor Code
As members of a community dedicated to learning, inquiry, and creation,
the students, faculty, and administration of our University live by
the principles in this Honor Code. These principles require all members
of this community to be conscientious, respectful, and honest.
WE
ARE CONSCIENTIOUS. We complete our work on time and make every
effort to do it right. We come to class and meetings prepared and are
willing to demonstrate it. We hold ourselves to doing what is required,
embrace rigor, and shun mediocrity special requests, and excuses.
WE
ARE RESPECTFUL. We act civilly toward one another, and we cooperate
with each other. We will strive to create an environment in which people
respect and listen to one another, speaking when appropriate, and permitting
other people to participate and express their views.
WE
ARE HONEST. We do our own work and are honest with one another
in all matters. We understand how various acts of dishonesty, like plagiarizing,
falsifying data, and giving or receiving assistance to which one is
not entitled, conflict as much with academic achievement as with the
values of honesty and integrity.
THE
PLEDGE FOR STUDENTS
Students at our University recognize that, to insure honest conduct,
more is needed than an expectation of academic honesty, and we therefore
adopt the practice of affixing the following pledge of honesty to the
work we submit for evaluation:
I pledge
to uphold the principles of honesty and responsibility at our University.
THE
PLEDGE FOR FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION
Faculty at our University recognize that the students have rights when
accused of academic dishonesty and will inform the accused of their
rights of appeal laid out in the student handbook and inform them of
the process that will take place.
I recognize
students' rights and pledge to uphold the principles of honesty and
responsibility at our University.
ADDRESSING
ACTS OF DISHONESTY
Students accused of dishonest conduct may have their cases heard by
the faculty member. The student may also appeal the faculty member's
decision to the Honor Council. Students and faculty will have the option
of having an advocate present to insure their rights. Possible actions
that may be taken range from exoneration to expulsion.
