14. ACADEMIC ALERTS Reasons you may receive an Academic Alert: KUDOS FLAGS
If you receive an early alert, please DO NOT WITHDRAW before talking to your advisor.
Clarissa
Identify students that are struggling, gives students a window to recover
WHY………………. Don’t withdraw from your classes immediately.
Opportunity for you to find out why you got an early alert. Not all professors will do the early alerts, so if you do not get one, it is still a good idea to check in.
Identify the root of the problem, action plan- look at the notes the professor gave, and then refer back to the syllabus if you have questions about expectations.
Create dialogue with professor –discuss issue or problem
Kudos!
Support services on campus
Be involved…..if you see your future,,,, then you must become involved in your future.

16. Academic Integrity
Governance Policy Library Number: Section D Policy Name: STUDENT ACADEMIC INTEGRITY PROCESS
INTRODUCTION
As members of an academic community, both students and faculty share responsibility for maintaining high standards of personal and professional integrity. If a student violates these standards, the Academic Integrity Process affords a fair resolution. The committee outlined herein may be called upon to hear cases where a breach of student academic integrity is alleged by instructor. In all cases, it is the responsibility of any university representatives to render fair and appropriate decisions reaffirming standards of integrity expected in the academic community….
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
A breach of student academic integrity falls into three basic areas: cheating, duplicate submission and plagiarism
Cheating: Cheating is any form of fraudulent or deceptive academic act, including falsification of data, possessing, providing, or using unapproved materials, sources, or tools for a project, exam, or body of work submitted for faculty evaluation.
Duplicate Submission: Duplicate submission is the submitting of the same or similar work for credit in more than one course without prior approval of the instructors for those same courses.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the representation of others’ ideas as one’s own without giving proper attribution to the original author or authors. Plagiarism occurs when a student copies direct phrases from a text (e.g. books, journals, and internet) and does not provide quotation marks or paraphrases or summarizes those ideas without giving credit to the author or authors. In all cases, if such information is not properly and accurately documented with appropriate credit given, then the student has committed plagiarism.
Rose:
Consequences of Academic Dishonesty
Group work and cheating- if you have questions, ask your professor!
Any act of academic dishonesty will incur the following possible consequences.
After notifying and presenting the student with evidence of such misconduct, the instructor has the full prerogative to assign an:
“F” for the offense
“F” for the entire course.
The instructor will inform and, if possible, meet with the student concerning the decision reached
A student may be brought before the Academic Conduct Committee of the college in which the alleged offense occurred, and may face academic suspension or dismissal from the university.
(See D17.0, Academic Conduct and Appeals Procedures,” and D18.0, “RIT Student Conduct Process.”)
