Update the Honor Code section to read:

First Violation

A faculty member who believes a violation has occurred must contact the designated department

representative to determine whether a prior violation was committed by the student. If the alleged

violation of the Honor Code is a first violation, it may be resolved through a faculty-student joint

conference or by requesting an Academic Integrity Review to determine the accuracy of the allegations

and assign appropriate penalties, if warranted. The joint conference is to be held at a time acceptable to

both parties. The faculty member informs the student of the details of the suspected violation and the

reasons for believing it has occurred. The faculty member is under no obligation to disclose third-party

individuals at this time. The minimum penalty for a first violation may be failure of the assignment and

the maximum is failure of the course. The faculty works alongside the student to make this a learning

opportunity. The student learns why their work is considered plagiarized and how to tie to other work or

paraphrase. The assignment is returned, retaken, or a zero is given on the assignment. The faculty denotes

the incident in the student’s record. The minimum penalty for a first violation may be failure of the

assignment and required completion of anti-plagiarism training.

Second Violation

If a student has been found to have committed an Honor Code violation at any time during enrollment at

the University, any subsequent violation is considered as a second violation. Thus, a violation committed

by a graduate student who also committed a violation as a Stratford undergraduate would be classified as

a second violation. If the alleged violation of the Honor Code is a second violation, a joint conference

may be held to determine whether the allegation has merit. An Academic Integrity Review by the campus

dean is conducted regarding all alleged second violations in addition to or in replace of the joint

conference. All proven second violations of the Honor Code result in failure of the course and dismissal

for the term. These decisions must be approved by the campus director and dean. Only these individuals

may recommend alternative actions. A second issue with plagiarism results in a more in depth learning

session held with the faculty, student, and campus librarian. Students may be required to repeat the online

modules on avoiding plagiarism and APA.

Third Violation

The campus dean and designated program representative are notified and the offense is noted in the

student’s record. A student accused of an Honor Code violation may withdraw from the course in which

the offense is alleged to have occurred onlyif the proposed penalty is less severe than failure of the

course, dismissal for the term, or from the University. In all other situations, the student cannot withdraw.

A record of a proven violation is kept even if a student is able to withdraw.
