The Department encourages students' attendance at
scientific meetings/workshops, which will benefit the student. Generally,
a student’s Major Advisor is expected to provide support for students
who are presenting papers/posters at a meeting.

Travel Grants
Departmental student travel grants are intended to provide supplemental
funds for students presenting their work at scientific meetings. Any student
in the Department of Plant Sciences is eligible to apply for a student
travel grant. Presentations at national and international meetings will
be given preference. Grants of $300.00 will be awarded on a competitive
basis as determined by the GPOC. Applicants will be notified of the award
within two weeks of the application due date. Students are eligible for
one departmental travel grant during the course of their degree program.
Applications should include the following materials:

Applications
should be submitted to the Graduate Student Advisor, Forbes 319 by March
15 (summer or fall meeting) or August 15 (winter or spring meeting).
The Graduate College, in conjunction with Graduate and Professional Student
Council (GPSC), also awards travel grants for graduate and professional
students who are attending or presenting research at academic or professional
conferences. (In cases where an applicant will not be making a presentation,
the student statement and the faculty letter of recommendation, included
in the travel grant application, should explicitly explain the importance
of attendance for the student's professional development.) Information
on these grants can be found at http://www.gpsc.arizona.edu/sections/funding/fundingSubsection/travelGrants.php.
If you have been admitted to the University
on a Provisional Status, the term for a provisional student will not exceed
two semesters, after which the GPOC will recommend that you be converted
to normal graduate status or be dismissed from the Program. The GPOC and
Graduate College Degree Certification office will establish terms for
conversion from provisional to normal status.
Graduate students within the Department
must abide by all of the relevant standards and rules of the University.
You should recognize that there are general ethical standards that you
are obligated to follow with respect to activities such as cheating or
plagiarism. As employees, there are different standards with respect to
the execution of your responsibilities, including the protection of University
property. For instance, you should recognize that all research carried
out under a sponsoring faculty member legally belongs to the faculty member
and the University of Arizona, not to the student. Failure to abide by
University or Departmental guidelines can result in dismissal from the
Program. If you are concerned about an ethical situation, you should consult
with your PAC, Major Advisor, the Graduate Program Coordinator, or the
Department Head. University
Code of Conduct
Integrity is expected of every student
in all academic work. The guiding principle of academic integrity is that
a student’s submitted work must be the student’s own. Students
engaging in academic dishonesty diminish their education and bring discredit
to the academic community. Students shall not violate the Code of Academic
Integrity and shall avoid situations likely to compromise academic integrity.
Students shall observe the provisions of the Code whether or not faculty
members establish special rules of academic integrity for particular classes.
Failure of faculty to prevent cheating does not excuse students from compliance
with the Code.
