Code of Conduct for students at the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science

As a student, you are expected to behave in a respectful manner in several respects. Ensure you have read and follow the Code of Conduct.


The following points must be followed by students active in EMG's courses:

  • To be aware that you, together with other students and employees, must contribute to a good work environment. This means treating other students and staff respectfully.
  • To know and promote EMG's zero tolerance for harassment, discrimination, abusive behaviour, and sexual harassment. If you become aware of these behaviours, you are responsible for contacting the course coordinator, study counsellor, programme coordinator, head of department, the student union, or the Legal Affairs Office.
  • To be academically honest in your studies. This means that you do not cheat, plagiarise, or conduct other unethical actions in connection with assessment.
  • To know and follow Swedish legislation and Umeå University's internal rules and guidelines for students.
