Referring cases of academic misconduct to School Investigating Officers
This process is for colleagues currently involved in marking. The process ensures that cases of student academic misconduct are distributed fairly amongst the investigating officers across the Faculty of Media, Arts and Humanities.
If markers/module convenors need to refer a case of suspected academic misconduct, please follow the steps below:
1. Marker/convenor compiles and completes the evidence file and an Academic misconduct cover sheet.
- the responsibility for compiling the evidence file lies with the marker and the convenor
- for guidance on completing the coversheet and evidence file, refer to the FAQ below
2. Email MAHAcademicExperience@sussex.ac.uk with the subject line ‘Academic misconduct case referral’ and attach the completed evidence file to your email. The AE team will refer the case to one of the School’s Investigating Officers for review.3. Academic Experience team emails the student concerned with a Notice of Advice:
- use this student friendly wording [DOC] in the main body of the email
- attach the Notice of Advice as a Word or PDF attachment
- avoid sending the Notice of Advice on a Friday, over the weekend, or before a public holiday, as the student will not have access to support.
