Academic integrity Don't cheat. A case of academic dishonesty on any assignment, quiz, or exam will result in a grade of zero. Please see the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities and the University Senate Rules and Regulations.
Student access services The Academic Achievement and Access Center (AAAC) coordinates academic accommodations and services for all eligible KU students with disabilities.

KU concealed carry Individuals who choose to carry concealed handguns are solely responsible to do so in a safe and secure manner in strict conformity with state and federal laws and KU weapons policy. Safety measures outlined in the KU weapons policy specify that a concealed handgun:
  • Must be under the constant control of the carrier.
  • Must be out of view, concealed either on the body of the carrier, or backpack, purse, or bag that remains under the constant control of the carrier.
  • Must be in a holster that covers the trigger area and secures any external hammer in an un-cocked position
  • Must have the safety on, and have no round in the chamber.
Tests and quizzes:   As permitted by Kansas Board of Regents policy, we require that backpacks, purses, and other bags be placed in a specified location away from your person during exams and quizzes, and as such those items will not be under the constant control of the individual. Students who choose to carry a concealed handgun in a purse, backpack, or bag must review and plan each day accordingly, and are responsible for making alternate arrangements as necessary. The university does not provide appropriate secured storage for concealed handguns.

Individuals who violate the KU weapons policy may be asked to leave campus with the weapon and may face disciplinary action under the appropriate university code of conduct.
