Sanctions for Academic Dishonesty

'In cases of academic dishonesty, faculty members may impose one or more of the following sanctions:

  • Failing the assignment in which the infraction occurred.
  • Failing the certification of competency in the area in which the infraction occurred.
  • Failing the course in which the infraction occurred.


In addition, in cases where academic dishonesty has been repeated or is of an especially serious nature, the faculty member should notify his/her Academic Administrator and the Director of Student Life and Leadership of the action taken. If the alleged violation occurs during the final examination period of the term, the faculty member may assign the student an 'I' grade to indicate a problem or incomplete work at final time. This grade will remain unchanged until the alleged violation is adjudicated.'

What if my test scores don't place me into the English or Math course I want to take?

All authorized accommodations will be in the form of a letter from us to the instructor (brought by the student to the instructor).
