Allegations of academic dishonesty and disruptive classroom behavior are first addressed by the instructor. Academic sanctions, such as a failing grade or dismissal from a program are determined by the instructor and the academic unit. Students may appeal in accordance with the BMCC Grade Appeal process. After consultation with the Department Chair, the matter may also be referred to the Vice President, Instruction for consideration of possible disciplinary sanctions in addition to the academic consequences imposed by the instructor or department.
Instructors are to make a good faith effort to give the student the opportunity to question the evidence and tell his/her side of the story before imposing consequences, even when the evidence appears conclusive.
