Resolutions of Academic Dishonesty Cases
Resolution of all formal cases of academic dishonesty minimally requires remediation. However, APRC may, at its discretion, include additional outcomes that are restorative, punitive, and/or educative in nature.
Any offense:
The student may be required to write a formal letter of apology to the course instructor(s). The student may be required to (re)take training regarding academic dishonesty. APRC may require additional measures. In all cases of violations except the third, APRC in consultation with the instructor in question will determine the appropriate level of sanction for each violation. Lesser violations should receive lesser penalties, whereas more serious violations should receive more serious consequences. In all instances, instructors and APRC are encouraged to enact restorative and educative justice practices in all appropriate cases.
Minor violation: Sanctions can include failure of the assignment (which may result in failure of the course due to the weight of the assignment), or failure of the course regardless of the weight of the assignment.
First major violation: Sanctions can include failure of the assignment (which may result in failure of the course due to the weight of the assignment), or failure of the course regardless of the weight of the assignment, or academic suspension.
Second major violation: Academic suspension or dismissal
Third major violation: Academic dismissal
The student is notified of the outcome of the Academic Honesty hearing in writing by the Chair of the Academic Policy Review Committee (APRC) via email to their Antioch College email address and hardcopy letter in their Antioch College mailbox.
