Faculty member requests an explanation from the student. After hearing the explanation, the faculty member will determine whether or not a violation has occurred. If the student agrees to sign, the original must be signed in the faculty member's presence. The student is given a copy of the form. If the student neither admits guilt nor agrees with the penalty and refuses to sign the settlement form, the faculty member must forward the form to the Vice President for Student Affairs Office.
Students have the right to file an appeal as outlined in the Student Handbook.
Record Keeping Academic Dishonesty Settlement forms can be obtained from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and when completed, the form must be forwarded to the Vice President for Student Affairs.
