ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Students and faculty who find themselves involved in cases of academic misconduct should review the university's Academic Integrity in Undergraduate Education and Research policy.Though the policy, new as of March 2008, was a product of the efforts of the Senate Scholastics Standards committee, the office of Community Standards, has been charged with overseeing its implementation, and has a dedicated staff member, Community Standards Specialist, Cinnamon Adams, to assist students and faculty navigate the process. For information on how cases of academic misconduct are administered go to the Community Standards Academic Misconduct Procedures.

Important points to note:

  • Students should be made aware of the instructor's expectations regarding academic misconduct. These should be detailed in the course syllabus, and then reviewed with students.
  • Student must be notified in writing of alleged misconduct and within 15 days of the event occurring.
  • All allegations of academic misconduct, whether resolved in the department or at a hearing, must be reported to Community Standards (so that that office has an accurate record of the student's entire conduct history).
