Reporting Academic Dishonesty

NEW! REQUIRED: Academic Dishonesty Reporting

All academic dishonesty cases that occur in the classroom shall be handled by faculty members.  However, after action has been taken by the faculty member, the faculty member will need to complete an online incident report.  After submission, a confirmation email will be sent.

University policy on Academic Integrity

The university policy on academic integrity is outlined under Academic Integrity on the online campus catalog, please click here to be directed to Student Conduct and Discipline in the University Catalog.  It is worthwhile to quote a portion:  

 "The University is committed to maintaining academic integrity throughout the university community. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense that can diminish the quality of scholarship, the academic environment, the academic reputation, and the quality of a Cal Poly Pomona degree."

"In accordance with Executive Order 1073, academic dishonesty cases that occur in the classroom shall be handled by faculty members.  However, after action has been taken by the faculty member, the faculty member shall report the incident to Judicial Affairs." 

The office of Judicial Affairs is here not only to assure that statewide policy is fairly administered regarding violation of student codes of conduct, but to assist faculty members in ensuring academic integrity at a campus-wide level. The policy says "the instructor is to report each instance of academic dishonesty to the Director of Judicial Affairs" in part so that the University can maintain a data base of students who have committed such offenses. The instructor who "takes care of it in my classroom" might be compared to a police force which issues tickets and collects the fine, but doesn't share this information with statewide agencies. Who knows if that driver has a history of speeding, reckless driving, or, worse, drunken driving? So it is with academic dishonesty. Reporting it and allowing the University to take action is to enforce the severity of the offense to the student in particular and to better serve the "law-abiding" students in general.
