Intentional Dishonesty: Formal Resolution Procedures

If a faculty member suspects that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty and does not wish to pursue the informal resolution process, cases of potential academic dishonesty can be referred to the Office of Academic Affairs, which in turn will refer the case to the chair of the Academic Integrity Committee. The faculty member shall provide a written account of the incident along with supporting documentation. The written account should detail any actions taken by the professor within the confines of the classroom in addition to any conversations regarding the case of academic dishonesty.

The suspected case of academic dishonesty should be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs within five business days of its discovery by the faculty member.

Penalties may be imposed according to the degree of academic dishonesty as outlined below.
