An instructor who has evidence that an act of academic dishonesty has occurred, after speaking with the student, is obligated to take the following steps: • Assign an appropriate academic penalty such as an oral reprimand and assign an "F" on the particular paper, project, or exam. A Warning Notice will be drawn and signed by the student and instructor. • In cases where the dishonesty was serious, premeditated, or part of an ongoing scheme, the case will be referred to a committee consisting of the Program Director, Vice President of Instruction, and President or designee. It will then be the responsibility of the review board to determine academic penalties as appropriate.
