Academic Integrity Committee

Reporting Procedure

The following describes the procedure to be followed when academic dishonesty is suspected:

The "Procedure Flowchart" outlines the various steps that should be taken when a case of academic dishonesty is suspected. The process is designed to ensure that:

1. students learn that integrity is both expected and respected and
2. student rights are considered when academic integrity issues arise. 

All students who engage in any form of academic dishonesty should be identified to the Academic Integrity Committee.  This allows the committee to maintain records so that:

1. repeat offences are penalized differently from first-time cases, and
2. integrity issues can be treated appropriately (e.g., with education programs for students and faculty geared to the frequency and type of cases.) 

To simplify processing of a case, the committee suggests that instructors use the "Case Report Form  " .  

The Case Report form and Procedure Flowchart can be downloaded from the links found on the Academic Integrity Committee main page.
