Reporting a Violation

Faculty should use the Honor System in dealing with apparent breaches of academic integrity in their classes. While some members of the faculty may prefer to handle matters (especially minor matters) internally, the resulting lack of central reporting would allow a student to cheat in several classes without any repercussions for multiple offenses.

Students are strongly encouraged, though not required, to report any violations of which they are aware.

What Constitutes a Violation

Violations include, but aren't limited to:

  • Giving unauthorized help to another student for a test or assignment
  • Plagiarism
  • Using falsified evidence or material
  • Submitting the same paper in different classes twice
  • Destroying or making inaccessible academic resource material.

Reporting a Violation

To report a violation to the Honor System Council, use the Academic Honesty Reporting form.
