The School of Plant Sciencs 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.
Student
Travel Grants
Student travel grants are intended to provide supplemental funds for students
presenting their work at scientific meetings. Any student in the School
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
GSPC. 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.
Graduate students within the School of
Plant Sciences must abide by all of the relevant standards and rules of
the University. The student should recognize that there are general ethical
standards that must be followed with respect to activities such as cheating
or plagiarism. As employees, there are different standards with respect
to the execution of responsibilities, including the protection of University
property. For instance, the student 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 SPS guidelines can result in dismissal from the Program.
If there is concern about an ethical situation, the student should consult
with his/her PAC, Major Advisor, the Graduate Program Coordinator, or
the SPS Director. 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.
