back to Department Regulations & Policies


Graduate students are expected to behave in a mature and responsible manner and to exhibit a spirit of cooperation with the faculty, their fellow students, and all members of the Department. Students should take an active part in fostering the development of the Department and its graduate program and in promoting the research environment of the University. This participation should be at all levels--from helping to maintain research equipment and facilities, to assisting in the recruitment of new graduate students, to helping fellow students in learning new techniques, etc. The student should realize that his/her professionalism as a developing scientist enhances the reputation of the Department and our Health Sciences Center and that the proper environment for productive research is attained by collaborative efforts of all members of the Department, especially its students.
