What happens to the students grade if a student is reported for suspected academic misconduct?
While the matter is pending, no grade will be assigned to the work in question. If the matter is not resolved by the end of the quarter, a grade of “Y” will be recorded for the course. The “Y” is simply a place-marker that signals to the Registrar’s Office that a matter remains pending with SJA; the Y grade does not factor into the student’s GPA. The student’s final course grade is submitted at the conclusion of the disciplinary process. Once the matter is resolved, if the student has admitted the academic misconduct, or is found in violation after a hearing, the student usually will receive a grade of zero, “F”, or other appropriate grade penalty, on the work in question. If there is no violation, the student receives credit for the work he/she submitted.
