NNU's Policies on Academic Integrity

Linked below are NNU's official policies on academic integrity. Please review carefully and consider any additional language you would like to include in your syllabi. Note that Traditional Undergraduate (TUG) and Graduate & Professional Studies (GPS) have slightly different wording in their academic integrity statements. If you are teaching traditional undergraduate, on-campus courses, follow the TUG policy. If you teach Graduate or online undergraduate courses, follow the GPS policy. These can also be found in the syllabus addendum (linked on the syllabus page in each Canvas course) and in the university catalog.

NNU Procedure for Reporting Violations of Academic Integrity

If you have an instance where a student has violated the university's academic integrity policy, use the following procedure:

Communicate the violation to your department chair or program director
Collaboratively determine the consequence for the student in with the department chair or program director
Communicate with the student - preferably an in-person meeting or live phone call/video call with the result of the conversation followed up in writing
Document the results of the violation on the university's Academic Integrity Violation Report Form

You are not alone in walking through this process. Please use your department chair or program director as a resource.

On the form, there is a severity scale. Here is a larger visual of that scale, if needed.
