Honor System
Academic Misconduct Referral Form


This form is used to report Carolina students suspected of academic dishonesty. Academic violations include, but are not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, or violating procedures pertaining to the academic process. Once you submit this form, you may be contacted by someone from Student Conduct.

Please note that reporting an incident without disclosing your name (i.e., anonymously) may limit the University’s ability to respond to the reported incident because we will not be able to contact you. Reporting anonymously may also impact the University’s ability to investigate and take disciplinary action, if warranted.

If you have questions about whether a behavior is considered academic misconduct or need assistance in completing this form, please contact Student Conduct at jpa@unc.edu or 919-962-0805.
