Faculty wishing to bring a charge to the attention of the Dean must do so before grades are due at the end of the semester or session in which the violation occurred.
If a determination has not been reached in a case of academic misconduct by the time grades are submitted to the Registrar, the transcript will indicate an “M” grade for the course until the matter is resolved.
Earlham College faculty and students on EC faculty-led off-campus programs are subject to this policy. Students on other off-campus programs are primarily subject to the host program rules and standards for academic integrity violations.
Students are responsible for communicating with faculty or the Academic Dean about academic integrity charges or process. If a student does not respond to the faculty or Academic Dean’s request for information or a meeting within ten (10) business days, the faculty or Academic Dean’s determination of the level of academic misconduct concern and in-course penalty will be recorded in the Academic Conduct File and an official notice will be sent to the student by the Dean. In such cases, the student may give a notice of appeal, according to the appeals process described in Section IV, within 30 days from the date of the official notice.
Students suspended as a consequence of academic integrity violations will not be able to transfer credits toward an Earlham degree from courses taken elsewhere while on suspension.
A student may return to Earlham after a period of suspension on the condition that they provide a written statement affirming commitment to Earlham’s standard of academic integrity, in addition to any other requirements for enrollment. The statement should be sent to the Academic Dean and Registrar as part of the consideration for re-admission.
The Academic Dean for Student Success will be responsible for bringing proposed changes and updates to CPC in response to immediate administrative needs or in response to faculty or student concerns, and for a comprehensive policy review every four years (Winter Olympics/World Cup years). CPC will determine whether any resulting changes are minor and can be approved by the committee and communicated to the campus by the Dean, or substantive enough to merit Faculty Meeting approval.
