Getting Help
If you have encountered a case of misconduct, please review these pages first. Contact Student Affairs if you have questions or need further assistance.

If you discover that one of your students has violated the University of Washington Student Conduct Code , it may be very disappointing and upsetting. It is important, however, that you consider this a learning opportunity for your student.

1. Talk with your student; tell him/her what you have discovered. We encourage this first step because the student is most likely to learn a lesson from a faculty member he/she has had all quarter than from an informal hearing process where they will be faced with a panel of strangers. Also, you may discover something that leads you to refer the student to the Student Counseling Center or another resource.
2. You may assign a zero grade for the assignment, and that grade will be factored into the entire course grade as normal, but you may not give a zero grade for the entire course.
3. Complete the Student Conduct Incident Report and attach the student's assignment, any supporting documents (such as your syllabus or e-mail communication), and evidence (materials from a plagiarized website, for instance).
4. Submit your materials to the Office of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (Box 358403), Attention: Julie Draper.

Remember that the informal hearing process may take a while. There are sevral sanctions that we may implement. Warning and probation may be implemented immediately while we may recommend suspension and dismissal be implemented by UW Seattle.
