The UNCG Faculty Senate reviewed and approved the Academic Integrity Policy.
The policy, in its entirety, is available online at Student Policy Handbook: Academic Integrity.
Faculty Reported Violations
Alleged violations of the Academic Integrity Policy may be resolved in one of two ways:
- Faculty-Student Joint Conference
- The faculty member and student may address the allegation
- Academic Integrity Hearing
- If the student pleas not responsible a disciplinary hearing is held to determine the accuracy of the allegations.
Peer Reported Violations
If a student suspects another student of a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy, he/she is urged to inform the instructor and/or Coordinator of Academic Integrity of the alleged circumstance. In such cases, the instructor is urged to arrange a conference with the accused student as provided in “Faculty-Student Joint Conference.”
If a student falsely accuses another student of a violation, he/she will be subject to disciplinary action under the Student Code of Conduct.
