Academic Integrity Reporting Process

Students are responsible for knowing and abiding by the Standards of Academic Integrity described in Part 2.3.4 of this Student Handbook. If someone complains that a student has violated any section of the Standards of Academic Integrity, or if Xavier otherwise becomes aware that a student may have violated the Standards of Academic Integrity, in most instances the matter will be reviewed in accordance with the Student Academic Integrity Process set forth in Part 4 of this Handbook.

 Students should be aware that violations of this Handbook are sometimes also potential violations of the law. For more information, see Section 1.3.5 ("Violation of Law and University Policy") of this Handbook.

Investigating and Reporting a Violation

Students, faculty, administrators, and staff are encouraged to report any incident they believe to be a violation of the Standards of Academic Integrity. Reports can be made to any of the following:

• Recommended: Academic Dishonesty Report
• An instructor or college dean
• Anonymous Reporting Hotline. It may be accessed online (www.xavier.edu/risk-management) or by calling a toll-free telephone number at 855-481-6238. Students may also use the hotline to follow-up on a report.
  • Note: Users will be taken to a secure web site hosted outside of the Xavier University network to assure anonymity of on-line reports.
