1.22 ACADEMIC APPEALS
The responsibility for academic evaluation rests with
the faculty. If a student believes he or she has been wrongfully and
unfairly evaluated by an instructor, and if the student is not able
to resolve the matter in conference with the instructor or the department
chair, an appeal may be made to the appeals board of the college offering
the course. Each college has an academic appeals board consisting of
an equal number of students and faculty. Faculty members of the board
are chosen by the faculty of the college for a term determined by the
faculty. Student members of the board are appointed for a term of one
year by the dean of the college upon recommendations from the student
body president. It is the primary function of a board to mediate or
adjudicate disputes that have not been satisfactorily resolved at the
department level. All thesis and dissertation appeals are heard by the
Graduate College Appeals Board.
A board will hear a case only after an attempt has been made by the
student and the instructor to resolve their differences, if necessary,
in consultation with the department chair. If in the judgment of the
board the case already has been satisfactorily resolved in the department,
it may refuse the student a further hearing. Each board is given the
responsibility of establishing its own rules of procedure. Such rules
must be consistent with the full protection of the rights of all parties
involved. Meetings of a board may be closed to the public.
If a board fails to achieve a settlement mutually satisfactory to the
parties involved, it will recommend a means of settling the dispute
to the executive committee (or comparable body) of the college, where
final disposition will be made.
Further information regarding the University Academic Appeals Policy
may be found in the Student Handbook found online at:
http://www.ouhsc.edu/admissions/handbook/
1.23 ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT
The policy regarding dishonest work is detailed in the
Academic Misconduct Code, which describes academic misconduct as (a)
cheating (using unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in
any academic exercise or on national board examination), plagiarism,
falsification of records, unauthorized possession of examinations, intimidation,
and any and all other actions that may improperly affect the evaluation
of a student's academic performance or achievement; (b) assisting others
in any such act; or (c) attempting to engage in such acts.
The code provides that the student's dean shall be notified of the charge
and the dean shall notify the student. Notification of the dean shall
be in writing with a brief description of the evidence, and shall be
made within 10 University business days after discovery of the incident,
exclusive of University breaks or academic inter- sessions. The code
outlines possible disciplinary actions, the provisions for a conference
with the Vice Provost for Educational Services, and the request for
a hearing or appeal. A complete copy of the Academic Misconduct Code
is available online at
http://www.ouhsc.edu/admissions/handbook/Academic_Misconduct.htm.
1.24

All research involving human subjects or the use of data generated via
human subjects research, which will result in publication or presentation,

Center Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to subject recruitment
and data collection. All human subject research to be performed by faculty,
staff, or students of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center
must be reviewed by the IRB. The IRB’s primary roles are to determine
if the rights and welfare of human subjects who volunteer to participate
in research studies are adequately protected and ensure that adequate
informed consent procedures are used. The University of Oklahoma Health
Sciences Center policy for the protection of human subjects in research
activities and IRB application materials can be accessed at the following:

Committee (IACUC) prior to obtaining animals and data collection. The
primary role of the IACUC is to assure compliance with the U.S. Animal
Welfare Act and Amendments and to assure that animals receive humane
care during procedures in accordance with federal regulations of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Office of Laboratory Animal
Welfare of the Public Health Service (OLAW/PHS). If you have questions

The University of Oklahoma Intellectual Property Policy governs the
ownership of certain inventions made by University students, staff,

and/or inventions, patentable or not patentable, which are made or conceived
of while the inventor is a student at the university with substantial
use of university facilities not normally made available to students,
or are made with funds provided by or through the university (including
research funds), are the property of the University. The policy protects
and offers substantial benefits to the inventor, while simultaneously
protecting the University’s interests in the invention. Students
and faculty members are expected to be familiar with their rights and
obligations under the University Intellectual Property Policy and to
promptly report any inventions as outlined in the Policy. The Policy
may be viewed online in section 3.27 of the Faculty Handbook found at
http://www.ou.edu/provost/pronew/content/fhbmenu.html.
Please be aware that the University Intellectual Property Policy is

is used in its general sense in this policy to apply to employees, students,
and visitors. For more information on the Reasonable Accommodation Policy,

RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS
Information about students and former students gathered by the University
of Oklahoma is of two types: (1) directory and (2) confidential. Any
office gathering such information and/or having custody of it shall
release it only in accordance with this policy. When a student enters
a university and furnishes data required for academic and personal records,
there is an implicit and justifiable assumption of trust placed in the
university as custodian of such information. This relationship continues
with regard to any data subsequently generated during the student's
enrollment.
While the University fully acknowledges the student's rights of privacy
concerning this information, it also recognizes that certain information
is part of the public record and may be released for legitimate purposes.
The following policies adopted by the University can be found at the

to Inspect Education Records, Correction of Education Records, Limitations
