What to do if you suspect an offence

What to do if you suspect an offence:

Must meet with the student
Raise your concerns and listen to any explanations offered
If the student admits to having committed an offence make note of this
No need for a signed admission
Prepare a written report
Include the original documents indicating the offence, highlighting particular passages of concern if applicable
Include course outline
Chair will review the case and may forward to the Dean’s Office as appropriate
You may be asked for more information
You may be asked to attend a meeting with the student and the Dean’s Designate for academic integrity

Work with your undergraduate advisor (UA)
Immediately prepare a GWR (Grade withheld pending Review) form. Your UA can assist you with the form
An instructor CANNOT impose a sanction or penalty
The Departmental Chair may handle the alleged offence if the assignment is worth 10% or less but only if it is a 1st offence and the student admits to the offence
Should the case file be forwarded to the Dean’s Office for resolution, you can contact the Office of the Dean for assistance
