Gather Information

Ideally, allegations will be supported by documentation. This documentation may include:

• Copies of the syllabus which clearly explains the instructor's expectations and consequences of academic misconduct
• Copies of the assignment/exam in question
• Turnitin.com reports.
• Copies or links to unauthorized source materials
• Notes retrieved from the student
• Emails between the instructor and student relating to the event
• Summary statement by the instructor of any intervention that occurred during the execution of the violation (such as moving the student to a different seat in the class, witness reports, etc.)
• Written reports of observations made during the event

While filing the violation, electronic copies of relevant information can be attached directly to the violation report.
