Consequences for Academic Dishonesty

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

The University of Arizona Global Campus students will pursue learning with rigorous academic integrity. University of Arizona Global Campus defines academic dishonesty as deceitful and/or deceptive attempts to fulfill academic requirements. While plagiarism is the most common form of academic dishonesty, cheating or furnishing fabricated or false information to University of Arizona Global Campus officials and/or faculty (such as lying to affect a grade change) are also acts of academic dishonesty prohibited by the Student Community Standards.

Consequences for Academic Dishonesty

A student who commits an act of academic dishonesty may face disciplinary action, including but not limited to the following: failure to receive credit on an academic exercise, course failure, and/or dismissal from the University. University of Arizona Global Campus may also extend its jurisdiction to misconduct that occurs prior to, but not reported until after the graduation of the offending student. There is no time limit on reporting violations of the Academic Integrity policy.

Instructors or other University staff may report instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Resolution Department (online modality) or the College Dean (Clinton campus modality), or designee; the student will receive a notice informing him or her of the offense, as well as any resulting disciplinary action(s). Academic Integrity violations are adjudicated by the Academic Resolution Administrators (online) and by the College Dean (Clinton campus).

If it is determined that a student is found responsible for violating the Academic Dishonesty policy, and a singular violation is egregious, or there are multiple instances of academic dishonesty violations, the student issue will be referred to the Student Affairs department to review for the possibility of sanctioning up to and including removal from the University.

The student may be asked to meet for either an informal hearing or a Formal Hearing (Students Community Standards Committee). Student Affairs will not reconsider the issue of student responsibility as determined by the Academic Resolution Department (online modality) or the College Dean (Clinton campus modality), but will only determine appropriate sanctions to be applied, up to and including, removal from the University.
