How is academic misconduct reported?
In most cases, an instructor will report a student for academic misconduct when he/she believes there is enough information to demonstrate a case. When an instructor believes there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate a case of academic misconduct, he/she shall generally notify the accused student in writing and orally within 15 days of the discovery of the alleged misconduct. Evidence of academic misconduct can include continuing suspicious behavior during an exam when warned by the instructor to stop and academic works being submitted by two students that are remarkably similar. The instructor is responsible for saving all information on academic misconduct in its original form and does not need to return any of the material to the student. Copies of the students work and information about other evidence can be provided to the student upon request.
