Report an Academic Integrity Violation

Who Can Submit an Academic Integrity Report?

  • Faculty members
  • Testing Center staff
  • Academic Support staff
  • Other College officials or individuals who observe potential academic misconduct.

What Information Should Be Included With a Report?

  • Description of incident
  • Date/location (if known)
  • Supporting documentation
  • Relevant evidence

        Examples may include:

  • Assignment submissions
  • Exam materials
  • Turnitin Reports
  • Email communication
  • Syllabi
  • Other relevant information

Students who wish to appeal an academic integrity decision may do so in accordance with Procedure 224P.

Students have two options for submitting a first-level appeal:

  • Contact the appropriate Academic Dean directly; or
  • Submit the Academic Integrity Appeal Form. Submitted forms will be reviewed by the Office of Academic Integrity and forwarded to the appropriate Academic Dean or appellate authority for review.

If a student wishes to pursue a subsequent level of appeal following a first-level appeal decision, the student may contact their campus Provost directly or submit the Academic Integrity Appeal Form indicating that they are requesting a second-level appeal, in accordance with the appeal procedures outlined in Procedure 224P.

Appeals must be submitted within the timeframe established in Procedure 224P. Students should refer to Procedure 224P for information regarding appeal requirements, grounds for appeal, timelines, and the complete appeal process.

Academic Integrity Appeal Form

  • First-level appeals are reviewed by the appropriate Academic Dean or designated appellate authority. 
  • Additional appeal review may be available through the Provost, as outlined in Procedure 224P.
  • The Office of Academic Integrity assists with routing submitted appeal forms but does not make appeal decisions.
  • Students should consult Procedure 224P for specific appeal grounds, requirements, and timelines.

Some situations may involve both academic integrity concerns and student conduct concerns. For example, allegations involving academic misconduct may also include conduct that violates the Student Code of Conduct, such as failure to comply with the directions of College officials, disruptive behavior, or other prohibited conduct. In these situations, the matter may be reviewed through both the Academic Integrity Process and the Student Code of Conduct Process.
