Academic Integrity Referral Process

Submit an Online Academic Integrity Referral Form

Any University of Vermont student, staff, or faculty member can report a perceived violation of the Code of Academic Integrity to the CSES office. Upon receipt of a report (referral) from any source, the Coordinator of Academic Integrity will determine whether the report, if true, would constitute a violation of the Code of Academic Integrity. If the alleged behavior described violates a University academic integrity expectation, the student conduct process will begin (see the flow chart for more information on what the process looks like). Any member of the University community that has observed behavior, or has information that reasonably leads to the conclusion that such a violation has occurred or has been attempted, has a responsibility to share that information with the Coordinator of Academic Integrity in the Center for Student Ethics & Standards.

Making a Referral

• Within two weeks of discovery, the referring party should send a complete written description of the incident including all relevant details and supporting documentation to the Center for Student Ethics & Standards. Reports may be submitted using either a memo format or the web referral form.
• Faculty members submitting referrals must also provide a copy of the report to each implicated student.
• Faculty members submitting a report for a student in their class may recommend a sanction. The recommended sanction will be taken into consideration, however, the final decision is made by the Coordinator of Academic Integrity or Academic Integrity Council.
• Submit supporting documentation (e.g. tests, papers, webpages, etc.) to:

Via campus mail:
Coordinator of Academic Integrity
Center for Student Ethics & Standards
Nicholson House

Via non-campus mail:
Coordinator of Academic Integrity
Center for Student Ethics & Standards
41 S. Prospect Street
Burlington, VT 05405

• For details regarding the adjudication process for alleged violations of the Code of Academic Integrity, please see the "Procedures" section of the Code.
• Should the referring party desire further consultation prior to submitting the referral form or memo, please contact the Coordinator of Academic Integrity or fellow staff at the Center for Student Ethics & Standards at (802) 656-4360. Additionally, faculty may want to communicate with the student via email using the template provided.
