question and present witnesses, and make a summary statement. If the hearing board finds the student guilty it will recommend a sanction. This sanction will supersede any previously proposed. Sanctions can range from failure of an assignment to dismissal from the School. Details regarding hearing procedures are available from Karen Platt, Director of MS Advising. The accused student is encouraged to discuss the proceedings throughout the process. The representative from the Office of Student Engagement will always act as an impartial party and does not vote at the hearing. A report of the hearing, including any recommended sanction, will be sent to Simon Business School Dean. The Dean then may add comments on the report before sending it to the University Dean of Graduate Studies who will issue the final decision and sanction. The student may appeal the final decision and sanction to the University Provost. The decision of the University Provost is final. Copyright Policy It is a violation of copyright law to copy copyrighted material, such as Harvard Business School cases or computer software, without permission and payment of associated fees. Cases and software used in the MBA or MS classes will be sold to the students by the UR Bookstore, and it is the responsibility of the University Bookstore to ensure that adequate supplies of these materials are available for sale to Simon students. Non-Academic Misconduct All graduate students enrolled at the University of Rochester must adhere to the standards of conduct set forth in the bulletin Regulations and University Policies Concerning Graduate Study (refer to www.rochester.edu/GradBulletin/ and click on regulations.) Students are reminded to follow these rules of conduct in all their endeavors as a Simon student, even beyond the School’s boundaries. Any case of non-academic misconduct will be addressed at the University level according to the provisions outlined in the Regulations and University Policies Concerning Graduate Studies. These bulletins are located in the Graduate Studies Office, Wallis Hall, Room 257. Academic Committees. Academic Standards Committee Chair: Ron Schmidt The Academic Standards Committee monitors the academic progress of all MBA and MS students, quarterly. The committee is comprised of faculty, academic advisors from the Office of Student Engagement, and representatives from the admissions office. The purpose of the committee is to assist students who are having academic difficulties and to identify students who have little chance of graduating, so that they do not expend their time and resources unnecessarily. To this end, the committee identifies students whose record up to that point indicates that they may have difficulty meeting the graduation requirements, and provides guidance to those students. In extreme situations the committee may dismiss students from the program. Formally, these actions are taken by the Chair of the Committee upon the recommendation of the committee. Academic Integrity Committee Chair: Professor Harry Groenevelt The Committee convenes as needed to review policies and procedures associated with the Code of Academic Integrity. Members of the Committee also serve along with students on an Academic Honesty Hearing Board that is formed in the event of a disputed allegation of a Code violation. Graduate Curriculum Committee Chair: Professor Phil Lederer The Graduate Curriculum Committee is responsible for monitoring and evaluating the Simon program and making recommendations to the faculty for changes in the curriculum. The committee draws on internal and external resources to access the effectiveness of our curriculum and to recommend enhancements aimed at further improving the value of the Simon degree. PhD Committee Chair: Professor Ron Kaniel The PhD Program at Simon Business School is a premier program among those that offer a doctoral degree in business administration. Placement of graduates is exceptional. Many senior professors at top schools such as at Harvard University, Wharton, MIT, Michigan and others did their research and received their PhD degrees from Simon Business
School/University of Rochester. You can find out more information about this program at http://www.simon.rochester.edu/programs/phd/index.aspx Academic Support.

A list of tutors is available in the Office of Student Engagement. Tutors are second-year MBA students who provide academic assistance for a fee on an hourly basis. MBA students must meet certain grade requirements to serve as tutors. As such, they are qualified to tutor in core and elective courses. Tutors generally charge $10-$15 per hour. Students are strongly encouraged to make use of tutoring services as soon as they determine the need for additional help. It is the student’s responsibility to contract tutoring services. The Office of Student Engagement does not train or evaluate tutors. Should you encounter a problem with a tutor, however, please contact office. Information Technologies Simon Business School Department of IT (IT), located on the 4th floor of Schlegel Hall, provides desktop computing, infrastructure, and audio-visual support for the entire Simon community. The IT Computing Center, also on the 4th floor of Schlegel Hall, provides more than 22 walk up computers with Internet access as well as ample laser printing and scanning stations. For Technical and/or Audio-Visual support, call 585-275-4407 or email support@simon.rochester.edu. Should you have any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to contact Simon Business School Help Desk at support@simon.rochester.edu or by phone at 275-4407. Blackboard Blackboard (http://learn.rochester.edu), a web-based course management system, is used at Simon Business School to provide online access to course work materials. Course web sites can be accessed by the course instructor and students enrolled in the class. The course instructor will inform you if Blackboard is used and how it will be used. Not every Simon Business School course will use Blackboard. Blackboard can be accessed using your NetID and NetPassword, once you have a Blackboard account. Your Blackboard account will be created and an email sent to your Simon email address after you are registered for classes. The email includes your NetID and a link to the NetID website at http://www.rochester.edu/it/netid where you can set your NetPassword. You will need your URID, the 8-digit university ID assigned to you by the University. If you need to access
