Academic Dishonesty

All students are expected to act with civility, personal integrity, respect other student’s dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their own efforts. An environment of academic integrity is requisite to respect for self and others and a civil community.

Academic integrity includes a commitment to not engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation, or deception. Such acts of dishonesty include cheating or copying, plagiarizing, submitting another person’s work as your own, using internet sources without citation, fabricating field data or citations, having another student take exams on your behalf, stealing examinations, tampering with the academic work of another student, facilitating other student’s acts of academic

dishonesty, etc.

Academic dishonesty violates the fundamental ethical principles of the college community and compromises the worth of work completed by others. A student should avoid academic dishonesty when preparing work for any class. If charged with academic dishonesty, students will receive written or oral notice of the charge by the instructor. Students who contest the charge should first seek resolution through discussion with the faculty member. If the matter is not resolved, the student may submit a request to the Department Chair of your major.

5.10 Student Grievance Policies (Voorhees College Student Handbook)

5.10.1 Academic Grievances A student who wishes to file a grievance of an academic nature shall follow the Non-Academic Student Grievance Policy outlined in Volume VI, Section 6.9.

5.10.2 Non-Academic Grievances Voorhees College has adequate procedures to address all written and verbal student complaints. The College ensures integrity in all operations involving students. Students must use specific policies and procedures outlined in the College Catalog, Volumes II, V, and VI of the Voorhees College Policy Manual, and other policy manuals to address specific concerns where applicable. In addition, this procedure may not be used to grieve: 1. Claims based on College purchases or contracts; 2. Claims against a Voorhees College employee on matters that are unrelated to the employee’s job or role at the College; 3. Student disciplinary decisions, since there is a separate procedure for them; or 4. Where another Voorhees College policy and procedure could have been used for the matter being grieved (e.g., harassment or discrimination, academic grievances, FERPA grievances, etc.). Procedures to Students to Follow When Filing a Written Complaint: The procedures set forth below may be used by students who are enrolled as Voorhees College students, or who are participating in a College-sponsored event, at the time of the incident being grieved. The person filing the grievance must be the alleged victim of unfair treatment; a grievance cannot be filed on behalf of another person. The existence of this procedure does not bar students from also filing claims in other forums to the extent permitted by state or federal law. The resolution process described below must be initiated within 60 business days of the decision, action, or events giving rise to the grievance.

The Vice President for Student Affairs or the Executive Vice President and Academic Dean as applicable may extend this time limit if the grievant makes the request for extension within the 60-day period, for good cause shown.

1. The Vice President for Student Affairs and the Executive Vice President and Academic Dean are the points at which written student complaints may be filed for traditional and nontraditional students, respectively. The written student complaint must:

a. State how the decision or action is unfair and harmful to the student and list the Voorhees College policy or state or federal laws that have been violated, if applicable; Voorhees College Policy Manual: Volume V – Page 89

b. Name the respondent parties (the person(s) against whom the grievance is filed);

c. State how the respondents are responsible for the action or decision, and d. State the requested remedy.

2. The Vice President for Student Affairs or the Executive Vice President and Academic Dean receive the written and signed student complaint. If it is clear on the face of the written complaint that it has not been filed within the time limit or pertains to a matter not grievable under this procedure or is from a person without grievance rights as outlined above, the applicable Vice President shall so indicate in a letter to the student and the complaint shall be dismissed.

3. If the complaint satisfies the above elements, it is referred to the head of the appropriate unit or to one of the planning committees or standing committees of the College for advisement and policy clarification.

4. Consultation is made with the Accreditation Liaison Officer to review if the complaint is in non-compliance with the Criteria for Accreditation or Policies and Procedures of the Commission on Colleges. Other campus officials are contacted for clarification of College policies and/or procedures.

5. After an interview with the student, a written response is provided to the student based on College policies and procedures. The student complaint and written response are forwarded to the President of the College. A student may appeal the College’s response, by writing, to the President of the College within ten (10) business days of receiving the response. The President will review the complaint, the response, and consult appropriate College personnel for additional information. The President will notify the student in writing of the final decision regarding the appeal and the complaint.
