Student Rights & Responsibilities

The student is expected to be familiar with the policies and regulations governing students enrolled at the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner at all times. Students, faculty, and administration share responsibility for maintaining an effective learning environment. Academic dishonesty is not condoned nor will it be tolerated. Refer to the Academic Dishonesty Policy here. The policy applies to all students at the Center for Health Sciences.

Students having academic grievances should discuss such concerns with their faculty advisor. If a resolution cannot be reached, then the counsel of the departmental chairman is sought. If any further resolution is indicated, the grievance is passed on to the appropriate academic dean. If needed, the Dean is consulted. The action of the Dean is final and binding.

All nonacademic complaints are to be directed to the associate dean of students. If a resolution cannot be made at this level, the associate dean for student affairs may bring it to the attention of the Student Affairs Committee and/or appropriate College officials. Students with grievances relating to alleged discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, disability, age, and/or status as a veteran may seek redress through the director of affirmative action.
