Academic Honesty Policy: All students are expected to abide by
Drexel University’s policies. If an act of academic dishonesty is
determined to have occurred, for a first offense, one of the
following sanctions will be imposed, depending on the severity of
the offense:
o
Reduction of a course grade
o
An F
for the assignment or exam
o
Failure for the entire course with the inability to withdraw, or
o
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. The decision of the faculty member and the department head
shall be reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs, which is
responsible for maintaining student conduct records. The incident
will result in an official disciplinary record for the student(s).
Any
academic honesty 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 judicial process, administered
through the Division for Student Life and Administrative
Services/Office of Judicial Affairs. These sanctions may include
suspension or expulsion from the University. See details in the
