AMSC Honor Code
The Army Management Staff College is committed to Army values as outlined in ADP 6-22, Army Leadership and the Profession. Inherent in these values are integrity and ethical conduct. By pledging to support the Army Management Staff College Honor Code, you agree to uphold the standards as outlined below.
- I will not lie in my academic endeavors. Lying is the willful and knowledgeable telling of an untruth as well as any form of deceit, attempted deceit, or fraud in an oral or written statement relating to academic work.
- I will not cheat in my academic endeavors. Cheating is inappropriate possession or use of copies of papers, examinations, solutions, or any other controlled issue material. Inappropriate means the College did not intend to provide this material to students before the examination or performance of other academic work. Students who accept copies of papers, examinations, solutions, or other controlled issue from anyone except the designated faculty at the designated time and who do not call this to the attention of AMSC personnel (Faculty, Course Director, Deputy Director, and Director) are contributing to cheating. Contributing to cheating is the same as cheating, whether for others or for oneself.
- I will not practice plagiarism. Plagiarism is the presentation of another's writing or another's ideas as one's own without appropriate citation of credit. This includes material extracted from the Internet or other electronic source. Use of other students', graduates' or author's work without appropriate citation or reference that this work belongs to another is stealing intellectual property. It is a form of cheating and lying. Using text written by another, short or long, when you know that it is not yours and not giving credit to the owner is a violation of the AMSC Honor Code.
- I will give prompt notification to my faculty advisor when I observe academic dishonesty. I have the right to notify the Course Director, Deputy Director, and Director when I believe that insufficient action has been taken.
- I will model behavior that reflects the spirit of Army values. I will insist that my fellow students also model that behavior.
- Pledging to uphold AMSC's Honor Code is tantamount to attending any program, course, or activity sponsored wholly or in part by the AMSC.
AMSC Non-Attribution Policy
AMSC Policy
The AMSC Non-attribution Policy asserts that no AMSC student, faculty member, staff member, or visitor may discuss specific statements from any seminar session, lecture, guest speaker presentation, or question/answer period that in any way identifies by name, rank, position, title, or other characteristics the person making those statements. To facilitate candid expression and learning, the non-attribution policy, in fact, applies to all AMSC activities. Breach of this policy constitutes honor, respect, and integrity (Army Values) violations.
Learning necessitates open expression of thoughts and opinions in an atmosphere of academic freedom. This requires trust that those thoughts and opinions will not appear subsequently in any other environment where the person may encounter consequences if those remarks are attributed to her or him.
Guest Speakers
Students, faculty, staff, and visitors are responsible for safeguarding the privilege of open, frank discussion and for upholding a covenant of trust. AMSC's policy of non-attribution during guest speaker sessions demonstrates our commitment to fulfilling that trust and enhances the educational value of our Guest Speaker Program.
Students, faculty, staff, and visitors will not use the name or any other identifying features of a previous guest speaker when asking questions of or making comments to a later speaker. Nothing a guest speaker says is to be attributed to him or her during discussions, writings, or other discourse with any government or private-sector person, forum, publication, medium, or in any other way.
Recording Policy
Consistent with the non-attribution policy, students, faculty members, staff members, or visitors will not record any seminar session, lecture, guest speaker presentation, question/answer period, or any other AMSC activity without written permission in advance from the Course Director. Accordingly, students, faculty members, staff members, and visitors will not bring tape or video recorders into any session. Bringing such equipment without advance written permission to record is construed as intent to record without permission and is a violation of Army Values—honor, respect, and integrity.
Occasionally, the Director may desire to record or videotape sessions or selected guest speakers for use in other College programs or activities. The Course Director will obtain permission for such recordings from the appropriate person or his/her trusted agent and identify recorders/operators prior to recording the seminar session, lecture, or guest speaker presentation. No student, faculty member, staff member, or visitor should infer that he or she may also record in such circumstances.
Students, faculty, staff, or visitors who wish to record or video tape any presentation, discussion, counseling, or similar event given by an AMSC faculty member, staff member, fellow student, or visitor must obtain written permission in advance from the presenter.

- Inappropriate personal conduct (i.e. serious violation of Army regulations, policies, or established ethical standards)
- Continued or persistent disruptive behavior that objectively hinders the learning experience of other students in the class
- Lack of academic progress that makes it reasonably foreseeable that the student will not successfully meet course standards

Dismissals for academic deficiency and personal misconduct will result in the course director notifying the student’s chain of command..
Early Withdrawal

- Illness or injury (as determined by a physician)
