Policy

Honor Code

“The University is an academic community devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. Fundamental to this pursuit is academic integrity. In joining the Adelphi community I accept the University’s Statement of Academic Integrity and pledge to uphold the principles of honesty and civility embodied in it. I will conduct myself in accordance with ideals of truth and honesty and I will forthrightly oppose actions which would violate these ideals.”

All members of the University community are responsible to familiarize themselves and abide by all rules and procedures related to academic honesty at Adelphi.

Any professor who believes that an undergraduate student has violated Adelphi’s Code of Academic Honesty should complete an Academic Honesty Violation Report Form. This form, along with copies of any supporting evidence pertaining to the violation, are sent to the Office of the Provost and maintained by the University in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Students who disagree with the findings of the report should meet with the professor as soon as possible. If after meeting with the professor the student is still not satisfied with the outcome, the student may appeal to the faculty member’s immediate supervisor (for example, course coordinator or department chairperson).

If an undergraduate student is reported for a second case of academic dishonesty while at Adelphi, they will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards for adjudication as prescribed by the Code of Conduct. All previous cases of academic dishonesty will be considered in determining an appropriate sanction(s) if the student is found responsible. Sanctions for additional violations may include academic probation, suspension for one or more semesters, or expulsion from the University. The Code of Conduct can be found at operations.adelphi.edu/policies/code-of-conduct.

Any professor who believes that a graduate student has violated Adelphi’s Code of Academic Honesty should report it to the Office of the Dean of the student’s graduate program. Each graduate School or College will have a written policy stating their procedures for addressing alleged acts of academic dishonesty, including a mechanism for student appeal. The Dean of the student’s graduate program will have the authority to investigate the reported violation and levy a sanction, including immediate expulsion from the program.
