Multiple Academic Integrity Violations

Academic integrity violations are cumulative over a learner’s tenure with the University. If a pattern of academic integrity violations is confirmed, the learner will be notified by the Dean or designee and asked for an explanation. Faculty, staff, and learners acknowledge that failure to prevent plagiarism, regardless of the cause, will result in sanctions. Learners with more than two academic integrity violations may be subject to one or more of the following actions:

  • Creation of a learning plan and signed Academic Integrity Acknowledgement form in collaboration with Dean or designee.
  • Referral to the Code of Conduct Committee wherein a recommendation may be made for final warning or dismissal from the University.
  • Review of all current and previous coursework (whether graded or ungraded; whether by a current learner or graduate) of any learner found to have engaged in plagiarism. Previous assignment and/or course grades may be adjusted to reflect violations that are identified during this review.
