STHM empowers both graduate and undergraduate students with their rights and responsibilities. Students are highly encouraged to review this information and to speak to their advisors or CSS team with any questions or concerns.

Student Responsibilities and Rights

The material included in the student responsibilities and rights section of the Undergraduate Bulletin or the policies and procedures section of the Graduate Bulletin contains vital information for students, both undergraduate and graduate. It provides students in the academic community with a form of empowerment and a way of knowing the various resources available to them. Students are encouraged to read and familiarize themselves with this information. A summary of policies and procedures for undergraduates is also available.

Student Code of Conduct, Good Neighbor Policy and School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management (STHM) Students Doctrine of Responsibility

All students in the School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management (STHM) are expected to abide by Temple University’s Student Code of Conduct, Good Neighbor Policy and the STHM Students Doctrine of Responsibility.

STHM represents a high degree of scholastic excellence. In turn, we expect an enhanced level of responsibility and preparation from our students. STHM students represent the school in a variety of forums, including, but not limited to, the classroom, internships and workplace settings. These environments require professionalism, commitment, knowledge and mutual respect. The STHM Students Doctrine of Responsibility policy will assist students in their pursuit of excellence while earning their bachelor’s degrees.
