ACADEMIC HONESTY
Qatar University is an academic community actively engaged in scholarly pursuits. As members of
this community, students are expected to recognize and honor standards of academic and
intellectual integrity. The College of Education supports the ideals of scholarship and fairness by
rejecting all dishonest work when it is submitted for academic credit. Qatar University encourages
students to be responsible and accountable for their decisions and actions. Any attempt by
students to present the work of others as their own or to pass an examination by improper
means is regarded as a most serious offense and renders those students who do so liable to
disciplinary action. Assisting another student in any such dishonesty, or knowing of this
dishonesty and not reporting it, is also considered a grave breach of honesty. Academic
dishonesty and plagiarism are described on page 37 in the Qatar University Student Handbook.
SPECIAL NEEDS
In accordance with Law No 2 of the year 2004, and Article 49 in the Constitution of Qatar:
"Education is the right of all.", and "the State shall extend efforts to achieve fair and appropriate
access in education for all". Qatar University seeks to ensure fair and appropriate access to
programs, services, facilities, and activities for students with special needs. Any student who feels
s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the
instructor privately to discuss your specific needs. Please contact the Office for Disability Services
to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
