• The Academic Integrity Officer will review the submission and determine if there is enough evidence to move forward with the case.
• If so, the AIO will contact the student to inform them of the matter, and a meeting will be arranged between the student, yourself and the AIO.
• The Registrar's Office will be notified of the matter, and the student will be assigned a grade of PENDING until the matter has been resolved.
  
• After the meeting, the AIO has five working days to make a decision on the matter, and will notify the student.  You will be copied on this correspondence.
  
• The student has two working days to either accept or reject the decision.
• If the student accepts the decision, the matter is submitted to the Senate Disciplinary Committee (SDC) for ratification.  Once you have received notice the matter has been ratified, you can submit marks for the student to the Registrar.
• If the student does not respond, or rejects the decision, the matter will be heard by the Senate Discipline Committee.  You will be advised by the SDC when a hearing is scheduled, and will attend with the Academic Integrity Officer handling the case.

• You may tell the student that they are suspected of an academic integrity offence, but don't engage in any discussion or commentary.  Advise them that they should contact the Academic Integrity Officer dealing with the case directly.
• If you would like to advise the student in writing that they are suspected of an academic integrity offence, use this suggested format:

Dear STUDENT (B00XXXXXX),

Evaluation of your NAME OF ASSIGNMENT/EXAM/PAPER submitted on DATE for COURSE NAME AND NUMBER has led me to believe that you may have violated the academic integrity standards of мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥.

In keeping with the мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥ Senate regulations and procedures, I have forwarded your ASSIGNMENT/EXAM/PAPER to the Academic Integrity Officer of the Faculty of Health Professions for review.  You should direct all inquiries to the Assistant to the AIO (fhpaio@dal.ca), who will be contacting you regarding the next steps in this matter.

In the meantime, you will be assigned a grade of PENDING until the matter has been decided.

• Only the Registrar's Office can remove the PENDING grade from the student's file and enter their final grade.
• To have PENDING status removed and the final grade enetered, email Janet MacDonald - janet.t.macdonald@dal.ca - in the Registrar's Office.
• Send the email from your мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥ address, ensuring that you include the student's name, Banner ID, the class name and code and the student's final grade.
