Mission
The Office of Athletic Academic Services is committed to providing a vast amount of services and resources that aid student-athletes in maintaining excellence both in the classroom and on the playing surface. The AAC will play an integral role in the academic success of Texas State student-athletes. 

Vision
Texas State Athletic Academic Center envisions a strong athletic academic brand that is highly visible and promotes the goals, objectives and strategies of the university to establish Texas State University as high academic and athletic value for students. 

Texas State Honor Code
As members of a community dedicated to learning, inquiry, and creation, the students, faculty, and administration of our University live by the principles in this Honor Code. These principles require all members of this community to be conscientious, respectful, and honest. 

WE ARE CONSCIENTIOUS. We complete our work on time and make every effort to do it right. We come to class and meetings prepared and are willing to demonstrate it. We hold ourselves to doing what is required, embrace rigor, and shun mediocrity special requests, and excuses. 

WE ARE RESPECTFUL. We act civilly toward one another, and we cooperate with each other. We will strive to create an environment in which people respect and listen to one another, speaking when appropriate, and permitting other people to participate and express their views. 

WE ARE HONEST. We do our own work and are honest with one another in all matters. We understand how various acts of dishonesty, like plagiarizing, falsifying data, and giving or receiving assistance to which one is not entitled, conflict as much with academic achievement as with the values of honesty and integrity. 

THE PLEDGE FOR STUDENTS
Students at our University recognize that, to insure honest conduct, more is needed than an expectation of academic honesty, and we therefore adopt the practice of affixing the following pledge of honesty to the work we submit for evaluation: 

I pledge to uphold the principles of honesty and responsibility at our University. 

THE PLEDGE FOR FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION 
Faculty at our University recognize that the students have rights when accused of academic dishonesty and will inform the accused of their rights of appeal laid out in the student handbook and inform them of the process that will take place. 

I recognize students' rights and pledge to uphold the principles of honesty and responsibility at our University. 

ADDRESSING ACTS OF DISHONESTY 
Students accused of dishonest conduct may have their cases heard by the faculty member. The student may also appeal the faculty member's decision to the Honor Council. Students and faculty will have the option of having an advocate present to insure their rights. Possible actions that may be taken range from exoneration to expulsion.

This handbook is a resource for you. It is full of useful information about the Athletic Department family. There is a handy day planner to help with time management, too.
