The power to hear cases of academic dishonesty is vested in an Academic Integrity Committee. The Office of Undergraduate Studies will identify members for the committee.

1. When, in the opinion of a faculty member, there is evidence that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the faculty member shallmake a formal written charge of academic dishonesty, including a description of the misconduct, to the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies. At the same time, the faculty member may, but is not required to, inform each involved student in private of the nature of the alleged charge.
2. When, in the opinion of the student, there is evidence that another student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the student should contact the faculty member for the course to discuss the incident.  After being contacted, if, in the opinion of the faculty member, there is evidence that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the faculty member will make a formal written charge of academic dishonesty, including a description of the misconduct, to the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services. At the same time, the faculty member may, but is not required to, inform each involved student in private of the nature of the alleged charge.
3. When the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services has received a formal charge of an alleged violation, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services will contact the involved student, in private, to notify him/her of the charge and at the same time will provide the student with a copy of the charge and a copy of the procedures that the Academic Integrity Committee has adopted, pursuant to No. 6 below.  If the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services tries to contact the student on multiple occasions to meet with him/her regarding the charge, and the student fails to reply to the associate dean’s requests to schedule a meeting, that student will automatically waive his/her right to a hearing, thus pleading guilty to the charge.  The student may not withdraw from the course in which he/she was charged unless he/she is exonerated of the charge.  If a student receives a grade of D or F in the course in which he/she was charged, that student may not redeem that grade under the Academic Redemption Policy.
4. After informing an involved student, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services will convene one of the boards of the Academic Integrity Committee within fourteen (14) calendar days of being notified of an alleged violation.  All students will be presumed not in violation of a charge until found in violation of the charge by a hearing board.
5. A charge of academic dishonesty in a course must be made within30 days after the beginning of the next term.  If an I (Incomplete) is given in a course, the grade in the course is considered to be final when the I (Incomplete) is made up.  
6. The Academic Integrity Committee will adopt its procedures, to be followed by all hearing boards, prior to the first case heard by a hearing board.  In addition to providing the student with a copy of the procedures, as stated in No. 3 above, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services will provide a copy of the procedures to the involved faculty member and also the hearing board members.  The Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services will also retain copies of these procedures.  The procedures must afford both faculty and students the opportunity to present their cases and the opportunity for rebuttal. 
7. In cases where the student is found in violation of the charge, the faculty member may consult with the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services to consider any past precedent established regarding academic penalties levied in similar cases. Faculty members must inform the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services of the academic penalty for a student found in violation of the charge by a hearing board.
8. The Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services is responsible for notifying the registrar and all other appropriate University personnel if the student is found in violation of the charge and the academic penalty. The Associate Dean of Undergraduate Academic Services retains all records of academic dishonesty cases and their findings in accordance with the University’s Records Retention Policy.
