Academic Integrity Process

Level I Violations

Option 1

Instructor and student resolve the issue to both parties' satisfaction. Both sign Faculty Resolution Form and instructor submits it to the Academic Integrity Office.

Academic Integrity Office saves all documentation to student file and closes Maxient case file. The closed case allows the Academic Integrity Office to identify patterns of behavior if multiple reports for a student across courses and semesters are submitted.

Option II

Absent a Faculty Resolution Form for a reported violation, the Academic Integrity Office will contact the student. Student has 5 days to respond, either accepting sanction or requesting a facilitator.

Level II & III Violations

A facilitation meeting is required for Level II & III Violations.

Academic Integrity Office will contact the student and provide a student acknowledgement form with these options:

• I accept responsibility for the reported academic integrity violation and the sanction.
• I accept responsibility for the reported academic integrity violation but not the sanction.
• I deny involvement in the reported academic integrity violation.

Facilitation meeting is scheduled. At the conclusion of the facilitation meeting, the facilitator (a representative from the Academic Integrity Council) completes the Academic Integrity Facilitation Form. The form includes the following options for the conclusion of the meeting:

• The student and instructor agree a violation did not occur.
• The student accepts responsibility for the reported academic integrity violation and the sanction.
• The student accepts responsibility for the reported academic integrity violation but not the sanction, and plans to submit an appeal.
• The student denies involvement in the reported academic integrity violation, and plans to submit an appeal.
• The student failed to appear at scheduled facilitation meeting.

Academic Integrity Office saves documentation to student file and closes Maxient case file. The closed case allows the Academic Integrity Office to identify patterns of behavior if multiple reports for a student across courses and semesters are submitted.
