CROSS-SCHOOL/COLLEGE CASES OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

In cases where a student registered in another School or College at the University of Michigan (e.g., Engineering, Nursing, Kinesiology, Art and Design, etc.) is alleged to be responsible for academic misconduct in an LSA course, the authority of the College of LSA extends only to determining whether or not the alleged action is a violation of the LSA Community Standards of Academic Integrity. If so, the instructor is free to assign whatever grade penalty he or she determines is appropriate. The Office of the SAA Assistant Dean will recommend a sanction or sanctions to the appropriate office of the other School or College in which the student is registered, but that School or College has the responsibility for imposing any recommended or other substitute or further sanction it determines is appropriate.

In cases where a student registered in LSA has been found responsible for academic misconduct in a course offered by another School or College at the University of Michigan, the Assistant Dean for Student Academic Affairs in LSA will notify the student in writing of the disposal of the case and of any sanction or sanctions being imposed by the Assistant Dean. The student has the right to appeal that sanction (but not issues of responsibility or innocence) to the Assistant Dean.
