Are students or faculty required to report academic integrity violations?
Students and faculty are not required to report offenses. All members of the University Community are strongly encouraged to report offenses. Unreported offenses lead to a perception that academic dishonesty is tolerated. Student survey data from the Center for Academic Integrity suggest that cheating is highest in those courses where it is well known that faculty ignore cheating or fail to report it to the authorities. While students do not have to report violations, it is encouraged because doing so helps preserve the value of a degree from UNCG and maintains fairness.
