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.
