Academic Integrity Policy Violation Actions and Sanctions

First offense: The faculty member will assign a grade of 0 for the assignment or examination where academic misconduct is determined to have occurred. The student will be notified in writing of the offense. The notification will contain directions for the first level of the appeal process.

Subsequent offenses: Subsequent violations of the Academic Integrity Policy detected at any time throughout the student’s enrollment at CTC result in the faculty member assigning a grade of 0 for the assignment, the student receiving an F in the course, and the student receiving a disciplinary referral. The student will be notified in writing of the offense. The notification will contain directions for the first level of the appeal process. Subsequent violations of the Academic Integrity Policy demonstrate a pattern of behavior, and thusly will include a referral to Student Disciplinary Conduct, starting with Disciplinary Probation and escalating per the Student Code of Conduct. Please refer to the Student Handbook for specifics.
