Academic Honesty
Policy
Drexel has adopted policies to deal with violations of
academic honesty. Drexel is committed to academic honesty
and to protecting members of its community from the results
of dishonest conduct.
When a student is suspected of violating the academic
honesty policy, the faculty member will:
- Notify the student
- Seek an explanation from the student
- Investigate and determine whether a violation of the
academic honesty policy has occurred
- If it is determined that a violation has occurred,
the faculty member will notify the department head
- If the department head agrees that a violation has
occurred, a sanction will be determined (see below)
- The student may appeal the sanction to 1) the Dean of
the College and 2) the Provost
- The incident will be reported to the Office of
Student Conduct and Community Standards (215 Creese Student Center) and will be a part of the student's
disciplinary record
- The report should include documentation of all communication between the faculty member and the student and the final sanction determined for the incident
For the first infraction, the sanction may include one of the four options:
- An "F" for the assignment or exam
- Reduction of course grade
- Failure for the entire course, with the inability to
withdraw, or
- Other action deemed appropriate by the
faculty member. Examples include, but are not limited
to, requiring the student to re-take the exam,
re-complete an assignment, or complete an assigned
exercise.
Any infraction beyond a first offense is subject to the
sanctions described above, as well as to disciplinary
sanctions that may be imposed through the University
Conduct process.
*NOTE: When a student suspects that another student has violated the academic
honesty policy, a report should be made to the appropriate faculty member or college/school. |
