Academic Dishonesty Report


This report is used for faculty to report incidents of Academic Dishonesty within a specific course and any academic penalty imposed as a result, and should be completed after communicating with the student about the incident. 

You should retain original copies of any test, paper, or plagiarized material until the deadline has passed for the student to challenge your decision through the Academic Complaint Process, which can be found in the Student Code of Conduct. You are welcome to upload copies of supporting documentation at the bottom of this form for record-keeping purposes. Note that this report may be reviewed by the student, the department chair, the Dean, and the Provost - please do NOT write your private personal contact information or any other information that you do not want others to see. If you have any questions, please contact the Student Conduct Office at studentconduct@harpercollege.edu.

The default policy of Harper College is that students may not withdraw from the course after an Academic Dishonesty Report had been submitted in an attempt  in order to avoid the academic penalty/consequences imposed, though exceptions may be made with permission from the reporting instructor.    Should you wish to allow the student to withdraw with no additional penalty, please note so on Question #7 below.    Otherwise,  please monitor whether the student attempts to withdraw from the course and,if so, please contact the Student Conduct Office to have the student adminstratively re-enrolled back into the course.
