Procedure for Violations of Academic Integrity
Policy number: AA014EN
Last review: Fall 2023
Next review: Fall 2025
Issuing office: Academic Affairs
Incident Reports and Resolution Forms
Minor infractions and first-time offenses may often be resolved between the professor and the student concerned. The professor may choose to consult with his/her Department Chair, the Office of Academic Integrity or the Dean of the University. Students may consult with their academic advisor, the Office of Student Development, the Office of Academic Integrity or student members of the Honor Board. In order to facilitate these processes, the Office of Academic Integrity provides a Faculty-Student Resolution Form. Resolution forms allow the professor and the student to come to an agreement upon the circumstances and the penalty for violations. If a student chooses to dispute the outcome of a particular incident, the matter will be referred to the Office of Academic Integrity for mediation.
The Office of Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity incidents are reported to the Office of Academic Integrity, which maintains a confidential record of such incidents. If a student is found to violate academic integrity more than once, the information will be reported to the Provost for further action. The Director of the Office of Academic Integrity will serve as an impartial mediator in the case where disputes cannot be resolved between the faculty member and a student. Confidential questions and concerns may be sent to academicintegrity@aup.edu.
The Honor Board
If a student disputes or appeals the findings of the Office of Academic Integrity, the case will be referred to the Honor Board. Students may request an advocate from Student Affairs or from the Honor Board at any time during the formal procedures. Honor Board decisions are final, and only the President of the University can reverse such a decision. A confidential written record of Honor Board proceedings will be kept on file in the Office of Student Affairs, and a written record of the Honor Board's conclusions will be placed in the student's file.
Composition of the Honor Board
The Honor Board is composed of seven members who are prepared to meet at least once per semester. Its membership includes: two teaching faculty members (appointed by the Chair of the Faculty Senate), the Director of the Office of Academic Integrity, the Dean of Student Services, the Provost, the GSC President or his/her Appointee, and the SGA President or his/her Appointee.
