How to Report a Suspected Violation of Academic Integrity

How to Report a Suspected Violation of Academic Integrity

Faculty and Staff

An LSA instructor who believes academic misconduct has occurred may either resolve the matter directly with the student (Instructor Resolution) or file a complaint of academic misconduct with the LSA Office of Student Academic Affairs (SAA Resolution), who will then handle the case.

Staff members who suspect academic misconduct should submit the matter directly to the LSA Office of Student Academic Affairs.

Procedures

• Faculty and staff are encouraged to contact the LSA Office of Student Academic Affairs for consultation prior to reporting potential incidents of academic misconduct so that our staff can answer your questions about the process before an incident is formally reported.
• If you have completed an instructor resolution with a student, please fill out the following Instructor Resolution Form.
• To file a formal complaint of academic misconduct with the Office of Student Academic Affairs please fill out the following Report of Suspected Misconduct.
• Reports of academic misconduct should be submitted within two months of the date of the incident.
• You can also read more about the Procedures for Resolving Violations of Academic Integrity.

Students

• Only faculty and staff can formally report academic misconduct. 
• If you are a student and have a concern about academic misconduct, please talk directly with your instructor. 
• Concerns regarding non-coursework outside of LSA should be direct to the appropriate office (e.g. The Office of Admissions, Office of Student Conflict Resolution).

Students who have questions or concerns can reach out to the Office of Student Academic Affairs (lsajudicial@umich.edu) or the LSA Honor Council.
