Academic Integrity Appeal Process
Students alleged to have violated academic integrity may appeal the citation by the deadline provided, typically two weeks from notification of the incident. Students must provide rationale for their request to reverse the citation, and supporting documentation may be provided. Appeals are submitted in writing to the Dean of Advising and Academic Operations.
Appeals will be reviewed by an academic appeal committee consisting of the department chair and school dean responsible for the applicable course. The dean will make the final determination, and his or her decision may not be further appealed. If the department chair is the instructor of the course, a dean from another school will provide a consultative role on the committee in place of the department chair/instructor. If the school dean is the instructor, the Vice President for Academic Affairs will chair the appeal committee and make the final determination.
