This form is to be used for submitting academic integrity violations. If you want to report a violation other than academic dishonesty please use the Student Conduct Incident Report Form. (Please note Disruptive Behavior in the classroom is classified as a Student Conduct Incident.)
If an instructor believes there has been a violation of academic integrity (e.g. cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized assistance), the incident should be promptly reported using the campus-specific Academic Integrity Incident Report Form.
The Associate Dean of Students (LA), the Dean of General Education with the Dean of Students (NY), or the Dean of Campus (Miami) will meet with the student to review the allegations. Students have the right to review the allegations submitted through the reporting form.
Disciplinary Sanctions for academic dishonesty cases, such as a disciplinary warning, disciplinary probation, suspension, or expulsion, will be determined by the Dean of Students Office.
Academic Sanctions for academic dishonesty cases, such as a Zero on an assignment or Failing a course, will be determined and assigned by the Instructor in collaboration with the Department Chair.
Instructors are encouraged to report incidents, regardless of severity, to ensure that students who repeat acts of academic dishonesty are subject to progressive discipline.
