Academic Integrity Statement
"An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate
those who do." The Aggie Code of Honor is an effort
to unify the aims of all Texas A&M men and women toward a high code
of ethics and personal dignity. For most, living under this code
will be no problem, as it asks nothing of a person that is beyond reason.
It only calls for honesty and integrity, characteristics that
Aggies have always exemplified. The Aggie Code of Honor functions as a
symbol to all Aggies, promoting understanding and loyalty to truth and
confidence in each other. Violations of the Aggie Honor Code and the
handling of such violations are discussed at the web site

(ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive
civil rights protection for persons with diabilities. Among other
things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities
be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable
