As a College student, you will take charge of your education, ask for help when you need it, and seek advice and information from as many University sources as possible. It is up to you to connect with resources and come to them informed and prepared to make the most of their services.

Your faculty also want you to understand your responsibilities in producing your own work and attributing the work of others, which is why the University has a Code of Academic Integrity. Adhering to this code means respecting the values of the University community and doing the best, most original work you can do.

College students are expected to:

• Understand the structure and purpose of the College curriculum.
• Read the emails sent from the College Office.
• Become familiar with the information available on the College website. Reference the site throughout their undergraduate career.
• Be aware of registration-related deadlines.
• Use Path@Penn to make course and grading status changes and confirm the accuracy of their registration.
• Keep appointments with their pre-major advisor and come to advising sessions prepared with a list of questions and issues to discuss.
• Come to drop-ins, make appointments with or send email to assistant deans for advising in the College Office if they need advice outside the expertise of their pre-major advisor.
• Make appointments with or send email to major advisors to discuss their progress in the major program.
• Know the Code of Academic Integrity and, when unsure what is appropriate in a given course, ask the instructor to clarify the rules.
