If an instructor determines that a violation of the Academic Honesty Code has occurred, he or she should provide written notification to the student outlining the violation that has occurred and the specific penalty imposed. The notification should include a statement indicating that the student can appeal the charge. A copy of this letter should be provided to the department head, the dean of the College, and the appropriate Associate Provost (undergraduate or graduate). If the penalty being assigned is an “F” for plagiarism in the course, the instructor should also provide a copy to the Registrar.

The AUM Student Handbook provides full instruction and considerations for faculty/staff reporting Academic Dishonesty in the section “Guide for Faculty Members to Report Cases of Student Academic Dishonesty.”
