How is a violation adjudicated?
If a member of the VCU Community identifies a possible violation, an initial description of the possible violation must be filed, in writing, to the Office of Judicial Affairs and Academic Integrity, within 30 calendar days of discovery (when the accuser possesses sufficient proof of a possible violation). The Academic Integrity Officer will investigate the alleged infraction; the investigation may include, but is not limited to, meeting with and taking statements from the accuser and the accused, seeking information from other students, faculty, or staff, reviewing the accused’s transcript, exams, papers, and other relevant material, and conducting other actions as appropriate.
