...

Dietetic students are expected to conduct themselves as professional persons. During class and volunteer experiences, you represent Syracuse University to the community. Students are expected to follow the Code of Ethics for Dietitians and to maintain high ethical standards.

Cooperation/Communication Skills

Dietitians often work as members of a health care team or administrative team. Effective communication skills are necessary to the student's successful fulfillment of professional duties. Cooperation with classmates and faculty is vitally important.

Confidentiality of Client Information

Confidentiality of client records must be maintained at all times. Information concerning patients must never be discussed with anyone who is not directly related to the patient's care. Exchange of information should occur where the ordinary person would have an expectation of privacy.

Food Evaluation

Students are expected to participate in taste tests and sensory evaluation of food products and nutritional supplements. Refusal to do so will constitute inability to perform necessary dietetic functions and can constitute grounds for dismissal from the program. (Allowances will be made for documented medical problems such as allergies and for religious or ethical considerations.)

Alcohol and Drug Use

Alcohol and inappropriate drugs will not be tolerated according to campus policies.

Conduct during Lectures

Professional conduct including politeness and attention is expected during lectures. Guests should be treated with respect and thanked for their time. Especially in small group meetings, tactful questioning or comments and responsive eye contact may help the speaker to gear the talk to the needs of the students. In most cases, the only compensation the guests receive for their time is the satisfaction gained from working with students.

Incomplete

Illness or other exceptional circumstances are the usual basis for consideration for the grade of incomplete. To receive a grade of incomplete in a course, a student must complete the Request for an Incomplete Form available through the College.

Student Grievances/Complaints

Individuals, when they are aggrieved, initiate action themselves, and supports are provided to encourage them to do so. Students may bring the matter to the attention of the Nutrition Undergraduate Program Director. Students may seek support from their advisors, or another empathetic faculty member. If satisfactory resolution of a grievance is not achieved, the student has the option of bringing the grievance to the Department level committee comprised of faculty and student representatives. The guidelines for make-up of the committee are available within the Department. Special procedures have been established by the University to cover academic dishonesty. The instructor can impose no academic penalties for suspected dishonesty without following the established procedures. A copy of the Student Grievance Processes are available from the College. A student may also submit written complaints to ACEND only after all other options with the program and institution have been exhausted. The program will maintain a record of student complaints for a period of seven years.
