Academic Integrity Policy & Pledge
Academic Integrity Policy
The Academic Integrity Policy was created by faculty based on the core values and ideals of practice as recommended by the Center for Academic Integrity. The UNCG Faculty Senate reviewed and approved the policy and is available online in its entirety here.
In the event that a faculty member believes a student has violated the Academic Integrity Policy, the faculty member should:
- First: Notify the student of your intent to proceed with an Academic Integrity violation.
- Second: Schedule Faculty-Student Joint Conference with the student.
- Third: Report an alleged Academic Integrity Violation to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
- Fourth: Hearing – If disagreement between faculty and student exists concerning the allegation, a Hearing will be conducted.
- Fifth: Appeal – Based on the outcome of the Hearing, an Appeal may be made.
