Academic Integrity:
The principles of truth and honesty are recognized as fundamental to a community
of teachers and scholars. The University expects that both faculty and students
will honor these principles and in so doing protect the validity of University
grades. This means that all academic work will be done by the student to whom
it is assigned, without unauthorized aid of any kind. (See General Student
Regulation 1.00, Scholarship and Grades, for specific regulations.) Instructors,
for their part, will exercise care in the planning and supervision of academic
work, so that honest effort will be positively encouraged. If any instance
of academic dishonesty is discovered by an instructor, it is his or her responsibility
to take appropriate action Depending on his or her judgment of the particular
case, he or she may give a failing grade to the student on the assignment
or for the course. In instances where a failing grade in a course is given
only for academic dishonesty, the instructor will notify the student's academic
dean in writing of the circumstances. The student who receives a failing grade
based on a charge of academic dishonesty may appeal a judgment made by a department,
school, or a college to the University Academic Integrity Review Board. Refer
to Academic Freedom for Students at Michigan State University. When, in the
judgment of the academic dean, action other than, or in addition to, a failing
grade is warranted, the dean will refer the case to the college- level hearing
board which shall have original jurisdiction. In cases of ambiguous jurisdiction
the appropriate judiciary will be randomly selected by the Assistant Provost
from one of the three core colleges. Appeals from the judgment may be made
to the University Academic Integrity Review Board. Refer to Academic Freedom
for Students at Michigan State University. In instances of academic dishonesty
where the in structor feels that action other than, or in addition to, a failing
grade in the course is warranted, the instructor will report the case to his
or her departmental or school chairperson and to the student’s academic
dean. The dean will then refer the case to the College- level hearing board
which shall have original jurisdiction Refer to Academic Freedom for Students
at Michigan State University.
