Academic Misconduct Report


Florida SouthWestern State College recognizes that adherence to high principles of academic integrity is vital to the academic function of the College. Therefore, the entire academic community shares the responsibility for establishing and maintaining standards of academic integrity.

If Academic Misconduct is determined in a course, the reporting faculty always determines the grades and/or dismissal from the program in conjunction with the Dean of the Academic unit.

Prior to submitting an Academic Misconduct report, faculty must make every effort to contact the student. After meeting with the student faculty will submit an Academic Misconduct Report. 

In the event of a responsible finding, students have the right to appeal in accordance with the appelate process.

Academic Misconduct Reporting Steps:

1. Gather information and supporting documentation. 

2. Contact student/meet with student to discuss alleged academic misconduct. 

2. Provide faculty and student name, course information, all pertinant information and documenation, and incident narrative. 

(i.e. Turnitin reports, photos, videos, text messages, e-mails, proctor/ witness information)

3. Click submit.

The Academic Misconduct report needs to be submitted within 7 business days after the date in which the faculty member identifies the alleged academic misconduct.  Please note: Grades are always determined by faculty. Students can appeal grades through the Academic Grievance process which can be found here:  https://catalog.fsw.edu/content.php?catoid=15&navoid=1332#academic-grievance-procedure
