Students are expected in all of their actions to reflect personal honesty, integrity, and respect for others. Moreover, as members of a distinctively academic community, Illinois MBA students must adhere to the norms of a serious intellectual community.

More particularly, an Illinois MBA student's responsibilities include: 
- a duty to respect the integrity of all members of the Illinois MBA community by avoiding all forms of force, violence or intimidation, including sexual harassment;
- a duty to respect the property and rights of others; and
- a duty to respect and preserve the quality of academic facilities.

Respect for Others
Students have an obligation to maintain a learning and community environment that is humane, fair, and responsible. This includes behavior that is consistent with equal treatment without regard to age, citizenship status, color, disability, marital or parental status, national origin, sex or sexual orientation, race, or religion. Conduct that interferes with the rights of another or creates an atmosphere of intimidation or disrespect is inconsistent with the environment of learning and cooperation that the program requires. Sexual harassment, which includes all types of inappropriate sexual advances, verbal or physical, will not be tolerated.

Academic Facilities
Students have a responsibility to preserve the quality of classrooms and public space. This responsibility extends, for example, to such things as disposal of one's food and trash, to reporting problems to the building maintenance manager, to maintenance of appropriate level of noise in study areas, and notification to appropriate security personnel of suspicious persons in the facility.

Computer Facilities
Access to Illinois MBA computing and networking resources, including hardware, software, computer-based files and data, the College of Business network and other networks reached via College of Business facilities, is limited to authorized users and is for approved purposes only. The copying of software, the unauthorized installation of software, and the unauthorized reconfiguration of systems are forbidden by College policy. Such activity would therefore constitute an example of failure to respect the property and rights of others and is expressly forbidden under this Code.

Each student is expected to use the College of Business's computing resources in an ethical and legal manner and has the following responsibilities: 
- a duty to preserve the quality and cleanliness of computing and networking facilities; 
- a duty to utilize the computing resources for the sole purpose of facilitating his or her work as an MBA student; 
- a duty to respect the privacy and reasonable preferences of other users, including the privacy of their accounts and data and any confidential or privileged information to which the student may have access; 
- a duty to maintain the integrity and security of the systems and network, including the safeguarding of passwords, codes, and other privileged information; and
- a duty to use email communications in a respectful and appropriate manner.

Failure to abide by these rules may result in referral to the Associate Dean of the Illinois MBA and/or local law enforcement authorities. Conduct that violates the Code may be subject to program and University discipline and/or public sanctions as circumstances may warrant.
