Faculty Disposition of Academic Misconduct

When a faculty member wishes to process an instance of apparent academic misconduct -- in which the penalty sought is not dismissal from the college -- the faculty member will employ the procedure set forth below.

Faculty members who have reliable evidence of academic misconduct, after they have (1) investigated the matter, and (2) reviewed the facts of the matter and the proposed penalty with the appropriate division chair, may take one or more of the following actions:

• Require the work to be accomplished again.
• Give no credit for the test, paper or exercise.
• Assign a grade of W or F for the course.
• Refer the matter to the campus dean of Student and Enrollment Services or designee for possible disciplinary sanction through the college's disciplinary procedure.

If the faculty member chooses to refer the matter to the campus dean or designee for disposition, the Plenary Disciplinary Procedure shall be followed, and dismissal from the college is a possibility.

Students may appeal a faculty penalty through the Student Final Grade Appeal Procedure when a final course grade is involved, or through the Student Grievance Procedure for penalties not involving final course grades.
