6.13 Professional Suitability

6.13.1 Principles
Within the University community there is an individual and collective responsibility to maintain a high level of scholarly integrity. While professional programs across the University are unit specific, students enrolled in all professional programs must adhere to those principles and/or codes of ethics, which inform conduct suitable for their profession. Professional programs are found in the following Faculties/Schools at Memorial campuses:
Business Administration
Business Administration Program, School of Arts and Social Science, Grenfell Campus
Education
Engineering and Applied Science
Human Kinetics and Recreation
Medicine
Music
Nursing, including Western Regional School of Nursing and the Centre for Nursing Studies
Pharmacy
Social Work
While each professional program has unique expectations of suitable conduct, there is agreement that students will conduct themselves with integrity, fairness, courtesy, and good faith in an honourable, equitable, respectful, and ethical manner towards others. In each of these professional programs, professionally suitable conduct is an academic expectation of registered undergraduate students. Each professional program is expected to make available to incoming students all documents related to professional suitability.
Expectations of conduct suitable for the profession apply to students throughout their period of enrollment in their program including when enrolled, either part-time or full-time, in classes or practice-based learning settings (e.g., internships, practica, laboratory sessions, work terms, clinical placements, and field placements), and when enrolled in the program but not currently registered in classes. These expectations apply to behaviours in structured learning, professional or public settings whether in-person or through various communication media and/or social media platforms.
While the intent of this regulation is to uphold professional suitability and respond to concerns of alleged unsuitable profession conduct, the University has a responsibility under law to accommodate students as defined in the Newfoundland and Labrador Human Rights Act. Furthermore, the intention of this regulation is not to prevent students from exercising their right to free speech with reasonable limitations as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
