Revised November 10, 2007
The Quinnipiac University Academic Judicial Process comprises four steps:
However, students can request and faculty can agree to deal with minor violations themselves and report the outcome to the Academic Integrity Board.
The process is designed to be an inquiry into the alleged violation. A panel of students, faculty, and administrative staff from the Academic Integrity Board (membership detailed in the Appendix) reviews each case. Students are found responsible or not responsible, and, for students held responsible, sanctions are rendered. All proceedings are conducted according to the procedures set forth in this Academic Integrity Policy and should be undertaken expeditiously.
Should it be necessary to invoke the Procedures during Summer session, every effort will be made to assemble the necessary committees from the Academic Integrity Board from the preceding academic year. Should that prove impossible due to summer schedules and absences from campus, however, the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Senior Vice President for Student Affairs have joint authority to assemble the necessary committees. They should make every attempt to maintain the same ratios of faculty, staff, and student representation described in this policy.
During a case review or hearing, faculty and students from the University Law School may not act as advisors to students, faculty, or staff.
