Academic Misconduct Process

The suspected misconduct should be reported promptly to the Academic Conduct Committee, which will examine the evidence, determine whether the student was a repeat offender, and impose the appropriate disciplinary action and/or remediation. Formal documentation of the infraction will be noted in the student’s file. Under no circumstances shall any faculty, staff or administrator determine their own punishment or remediation for academic misconduct.

A student may appeal a finding of academic misconduct by applying in writing to the Academic Conduct Committee AcademicConduct@walshcollege.edu within seven calendar days of notification for an appointment to appear before the Committee.

A final written appeal may be directed to the office of the chief academic officer of Walsh, who in their discretion, may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision. In all instances, the decision of the chief academic officer is final.
