  • Basic Needs Hub
    Managed by the Dean of Student Life, the hub provides info on food assistance, housing services, education and training, emergency funds, and technology access for PSU students.
  • Disability Resource Center
    If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the Disability Resource Center to schedule an appointment and initiate a conversation about reasonable accommodations (https://www.pdx.edu/drc). Students who require additional consideration for the timely completion of any of the course requirements due to accessibility needs should speak to the instructor at the beginning of the term, and must be registered with PSU’s Disability Resource Center.
  • Title IX
    Federal, state, and PSU policies require faculty members to mandatorily report any instances of sexual harassment, sexual violence and/or other forms of prohibited discrimination. PSU faculty are required by law to file a report if they have reasonable cause to believe that a child with whom they come into contact has suffered abuse, or that any person with whom they come into contact has abused a child. These reports are not confidential. Campus resources where reports may be made confidentially may
    be found by following this link.

 

Academic Resources

  • PSU History & Historiography Research Guide
    This overview of PSU's library resources is available to History students, with additional specific research guides for European History, Medieval History, Pacific Northwest History, and United States History.
  • Plagiarism Policy
    Plagiarism, intentional or unintentional, is an impermissible infraction in any setting where ideas are exchanged and discussed, and constitutes a violation of PSU’s Honor Code. Papers that can be shown to have been plagiarized will automatically receive a grade of “0”. Students will be required to resubmit their papers, and will be deducted in their grade an amount appropriate to the late paper policy given in the assignment guidelines. Repeated or egregious offenses may be the cause for additional formal action, including referral to the Dean of Student Life for academic disciplinary measures. If you are unsure what plagiarism is, you may educate yourself at this web site maintained by Indiana University. Work completed for other classes may not be submitted for History courses and is considered by PSU a breach of academic honesty.  Remember, ignorance of what constitutes plagiarism is no excuse for doing it!
