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. The Office of Community Standards is responsible for overseeing this policy’s implementation. For information on how cases of academic misconduct are administered, please visit the Community Standards Academic Misconduct Procedures web page. 

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. 

• Students must be notified in writing of alleged misconduct within 5 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 Community Standards has an accurate record of the student’s entire conduct history. To report a case of academic misconduct, please submit an Academic, Scholarly, and Professional Integrity Misconduct Report.
