Procedures for Dealing With Academic Dishonesty Cases Faculty Member and Student Faculty members who have sufficient evidence of academic dishonesty must first contact the Director of Academic Support Services, who determines whether the student has previously admitted to or been found guilty of an academic integrity violation. If a first offense, and if the faculty member believes that the suspected violation would be remedied by an F in the course or a lesser penalty, he or she proceeds to settle the matter with the student. After meeting with the student, if the faculty member determines that a violation has in fact occurred, he or she records the charge on a form obtained from the Director of Academic Support Services and assigns a penalty. Determinations of penalty must be based on the nature and seriousness of the offense. The student has three school days to consider the charge and penalty and seek advice and then chooses one of the three options by signing in the presence of the Director of Academic Support Services and the faculty member, who then implements the penalty.
