Academic Integrity

Review Process

Faculty members who suspect that a violation of academic integrity (including, but not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, self-plagiarism, inappropriate distribution of course material, or unauthorized collaboration) has occurred will first notify the student that they will be submitting a report of the alleged violation and then complete the electronic Academic Integrity Referral Form.

Community Standards and Conduct will receive and review the submitted Academic Integrity Referral Form and any supplemental documentation and initiate the Conduct Review Process. If, as a result of the Conduct Review Process, it is determined that the student is responsible for the alleged violation, the sanction(s) recommended by the faculty member on the Academic Integrity Review Form will be imposed, along with supplemental sanctions designated by Community Standards and Conduct. The faculty member and the student will be notified in writing of the outcome of the Conduct Review Process.

The Academic Integrity Review Process should only be used for violations of academic integrity. Threatening behavior in the classroom, labs or other learning environments, including practicum properties, should be immediately reported to Campus Safety & Security. Students who are disruptive in the classroom, labs or other learning environments, including practicum properties, may be referred to Community Standards and Conduct for review through the Conduct Review Process. Threatening or disruptive behavior may result in an interim suspension from the classroom, labs or other learning environments, including practicum properties, pending the outcome of the Conduct Review Process. Please see the Student Code of Conduct, Conduct Review Process, and Sanctions for Individuals or Sanctions for Groups for more information.
