Overall, SRU takes academic integrity seriously and expects all members of the community to uphold high standards of honesty and ethics in their academic pursuits. Any form of academic misconduct, including plagiarism, cheating, and falsifying information, is condemned and may result in corrective discipline such as developing a remediation plan or behavioral goals. If further sanctions are necessary, instructors can recommend measures such as resubmission or failing grades. Accused students have the right to appeal on reasonable grounds within 10 working days of a final determination. It’s recommended that students read the student handbook thoroughly and consider retaining a student defense attorney for additional support.
