Academic Misconduct
Students who wish to appeal a grade will need to follow the procedures outlined below. The academic appeals process requires a series of steps whether the appeal is being initiated by faculty or students. Please read the steps as described in the documents below. If you wish to proceed with an appeal, the Signature Page must be filled out completely and submitted to the Academic Misconduct Appeals Committee.
Academic Conduct Officer (ACO)
Each campus has an identified Academic Conduct Officer (ACO) whose role is to provide procedural guidance to faculty or academic administrators related to academic misconduct allegations. The ACO also facilitates administrative and communication processes including notification documentation between the University (faculty, deans, etc.) and the student(s). The ACO works directly with the Office of Student Conduct & Community Development (SCCD) in the department of Student Life.
