Honor Code Violation Report

If a student admits to having violated the Academic Code of Honor, and if that student and the instructor can agree on an appropriate punishment, the instructor should:
1. Download an Honor Code Violation Report.pdf, Honor Code Violation Report.doc.
2. Enter the appropriate information into the Report by typing directly into the Report or by writing on a hard copy of the form.
3. Print and sign three copies of the completed Report.
4. Ask the student to sign all three copies of the Report.
5. Promptly send one signed copy to 'Associate Provost - Honor Code', 300 Main Building. Give one signed copy to the student. The instructor keeps the third signed copy.
6. Wait seven calendar days before imposing the penalty described in the Report. If within seven days, the Associate Provost notifies the instructor that either the Provost Office has decided to nullify the report because of fundamental unfairness, or the student has chosen to revoke the agreement, then the instructor is not permitted to execute the punishment described in the report. Instead, the case will be referred to the relevant Honesty Committee for a full hearing.

 

An instructor may not penalize a student for suspected dishonest behavior unless the student either has agreed to that penalty in a signed Honor Code Violation Report or has been assigned such a penalty as a result of an Honesty Committee hearing.
