FIU Civility Statement

Civility is an essential component of the core values of FIU. When faculty and students model civility, it contributes to the growth of individuals as enlightened global citizens. Members of the FIU community deserve courtesy and politeness at all times and an environment free from harassment, bullying, and other forms of incivility. This applies to behaviors in the classroom, online, on or off-campus, and on social media. All opinions and experiences, however different or controversial they may be, must be tolerated in the spirit of academic discourse.

Every student at FIU is expected to practice civility, assume responsibility for their actions, respect the tradition of academic inquiry, respect the rights and property of the University and its members, and be diligent and honest in their personal and academic endeavors. Students have a responsibility to adhere to FIU’s Student Code of Conduct and FIU’s Academic Misconduct Policy whether they are on or off-campus, or online. Failure to comply with these University policies may result in charges of academic or behavioral misconduct.
