KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS INSTITUTE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF COMPUTER & INFORMATION SCIENCES www.ksi.edu 847-679-3135 Procedure for Adjudication When a faculty member becomes aware of a possible academic integrity violation either on or off campus, the faculty member should first discuss the matter with the suspected violator. If the discussion leaves the faculty member convinced that a violation has occurred, then he/she will prepare an “Academic Integrity Violation Report” specifying the sanction recommended ranging from grade reduction on an assignment to receiving a failing grade for that course. The student will have an opportunity to review the violation report prior to both the faculty member and student signing the report. The completed report will then be forwarded to the Administration Office of Knowledge Systems Institute. Appeal Procedure A student who wishes to appeal a sanction should contact the department chair. The department chair will then conduct either a formal or informal hearing(s), and communicate the determination in writing to both the student and the reporting faculty member. Faculty Responsibilities Faculty members are also expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner, including the following: conduct their classes when scheduled, be available for appointments, keep appointments, make appropriate preparations for classes, grade and return tests and assignments promptly, grade fairly and give appropriate recognition to contributions made by students in research, publication, service or other activities. Student Policies & Requirements Grievance Procedure A student (or group of students) who wishes to voice a grievance should contact the department chair. The department chair will then conduct formal or informal hearings, and communicate the determination in writing to both the student (or group of students) and the faculty member. ACADEMIC ADVISING Each student is assigned an Academic Advisor. During the registration period, before each semester, the student should discuss courses to be taken with his or her Academic Advisor who will then fill out the Advising Form. The Advising Form is a permanent document to be kept as part of the student’s academic record. 40
