PRO-U2100.02C Addressing Additional Academic Honesty Violations

Contacts the student via email and registered mail to their permanent address to indicate:

1. the receipt of an additional violation,
2. that the student is required to appear before the Academic Honesty Board for a hearing, and
3. the consequences for failing to attend the hearing.

Note: If two or more violations are concurrent, a hearing is not necessarily called unless these are preceded by another violation. Whether or not violations are concurrent will be determined by the Secretary to the Academic Honesty Board in agreement with the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

• If the student is unable to submit all information electronically, all pertinent documentation must be delivered to Old Main 460 or emailed to AcademicHonestyBoard@wwu.edu
• If delivered by to Old Main 460, the Secretary to Academic Honesty Board gives the student a receipt documenting the date/ time delivery and keeps a duplicate on file.

• The hearing will consist of the student’s explanation, clarification from the instructor(s), questions from the Academic Honesty Board, and final statements from the student and instructor(s).
• The student’s attendance at the meeting is mandatory. If the student does not attend, the Academic Honesty Board will still meet to determine an appropriate Sanction.
• If the instructor(s) is (are) not able to attend the hearing, the Chair/Director may appear instead. An instructor’s failure to attend does not mean the case is withdrawn, but the instructor should be aware that not attending the hearing is likely to affect the nature of the discussion and the final outcome.
• If the instructor(s) choose(s) not to attend, all evidence in the original violations will be considered as their statement(s).
