__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This Code of Ethics and Responsibilities established by previous Auburn University MBA students to outline
expected behaviors and appropriate conduct for all Auburn University MBA/MSBA students. The points listed below

behaviors with the highest levels of integrity, honesty and civility.

■Students are expected to represent Auburn University, the Auburn MBA Program, and themselves in an honorable, mature,

includes all work (e.g. printed media, internet, etc.) that is not properly credited to the proper author(s) through appropriate
and accurate citation.
■Group work is group work and individual work is not group work. Whether the assignment is to you as an individual or to
a group in which you are a member, it can never be shared with another student without the permission of the supervising
professor.
■Group projects require equal contribution and participation form all members. Students will conduct themselves in a
professional manner representative of conduct expected in a business environment. Group members are expected to respect
each other and maintain a professional and productive team dynamic. Any questionable or inappropriate behavior is
expected to be reported to the MBA Honor Board.
■Certain courses may require computer-based tests and/or exams. All such examinations will be completed on an individual
student basis.
■Students are expected to report honor violations to the supervising professor, the MBA Program Office or the MBA Honor

■Students are expected to arrive at class on time, be well prepared and attend all classes unless excused by the supervising
professor or due to extenuating circumstances. In all cases an Official University Excuse may be required.
■Students will respect property of Auburn University, the College of Business and the MBA/MSBA Programs. This includes
such items as computer, office equipment, classroom and audio-visual equipment.
