Academic Honesty: Procedures

  1. When Plagiarism, cheating and other academic misconduct is suspected, the instructor should first try to resolve the issue with the student.
  2. If the incident cannot be resolved between the instructor and the student, the instructor has the obligation to report all suspected cases of plagiarism, cheating or other academic misconduct to the Program Manager or Director responsible for the course.
  3. At this time, the Program Manager or Director will meet with the instructor and the student in order to resolve the issue. The instructor will prepare a written report stating the alleged facts and their reasons for suspicion in writing prior to the meeting with the Program Manager or Director. As necessary, the Program Manager or Director will gather evidence and interview the instructor and the student(s) involved, conclude whether academic dishonesty has taken place, and assign (if necessary) consequences to the student(s).
  4. Appeals: Students may appeal a decision regarding a failing grade or other consequences resulting from academic dishonesty by submitting a written appeal to the Director of Continuing Education.
