Academic Integrity Reviews

Students accused of academic misconduct can have the allegation reviewed by the Academic Integrity Review Board (AIRB), a panel of faculty and students.

AIRB's role

The board does not:

  • Decide or change sanctions
  • Dismiss cases based on your "character" or "intentions"

The board does:

  • Review the allegation with the instructor and involved student(s)
  • Use the evidence to determine whether it is "more likely than not" that a policy violation occurred

Should you ask for a review?

Do not ask for a review if you concur that:

  • The policy violation occurred
  • The policy violation occurred, but you want your mitigating circumstances considered
  • The policy violation occurred, but you want your sanctions reduced

Ask for a review if:

  • You are contesting that the action in question occurred.

Request a review

Submit your request for a review to your appropriate dean.

Once you are notified that the AI Office has received your review request, ask for a copy of the allegation documentation from the AI Office. You can also see information on preparing for a review.
