Institutional Review Board (IRB) NSU encourages the conduct of research in and among its colleges and centers, and in collaboration with other educational institutions, agencies, and organizations. While respecting the right of faculty to full academic freedom in research, the university is firmly committed to adhering to basic ethical principles underlying the acceptable conduct of research involving human subjects. Students must process all proposed research through the CAHSS IRB representative. Please consult the Chair of the department and the IRB website for additional information. The IRB website is http://www.nova.edu/irb / . Any violation of this process is considered a breach of ethics and grounds for dismissal. Email Policy In keeping with NSU policy, the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) requires its students to hold and regularly maintain one official university-assigned computer account that is used to access major computing resources, including email. Students MUST use their NSU email accounts when sending email to faculty and staff and must clearly identify their names and other appropriate information, e.g., course or program. When communicating with students via email, faculty and staff members will send mail ONLY to NSU email accounts using NSU-recognized usernames. Students who forward their NSU- generated email to other email accounts do so at their own risk of not receiving required program information. Faculty/Student Collaboration Students are encouraged to collaborate with faculty on articles and books for publication. Students are also encouraged to collaborate with faculty on presentations, and may do co- therapy, co-mediation, etc. with faculty as indicated by their practicum supervisor. In general, collaborative relationships are encouraged within the boundaries of mutual respect and appropriate roles. Advertising It is against University policy for students to advertise their business activity, even if program related, through e-mail or mail box distribution to faculty, students and staff.
