Office of the Dean of Students | Academic Integrity | Information for Students | Suspected Honor Code Violation
What to do if you Suspect an Honor Code Violation
If you suspect an honor code violation you, as a student, have several options.

It is encouraged that you talk to the instructor of the class. Tell them what you saw, how you saw it, and why you think a violation occurred. You can ask that the faculty member not reveal to the other student that you witnessed this. You may be asked to serve as a witness at a a Conduct Hearing, but you can not be forced to do so.

Another option would be to talk to the student. You can ask that they:
  • not do it again, and if they do that you will turn them in
  • self report that they violated the honor code
  • try and understand why you are upset that they did this
A final option would be to talk to someone in the Office of the Dean of Students. A staff member can walk you through what happened and give you advice on what you should do next.
