Please be prepared to provide information on the accused student, and any relevant information or evidence regarding your concerns.

    Academic Integrity Statistics:
    Faculty are obligated to report any suspected violations of academic integrity policies, such as cheating and plagiarizing to the Office of the Dean of Students. Data is shared with the Baruch Community via the Office of the Dean of Students website on any administrative sanctions (e.g., warnings or suspensions) imposed, and, when known, academic sanctions leveled by members of the faculty (e.g., F for the assignment or exam or F for the course). All information is anonymous. Cases reported at the end of a month may not be heard by the time reports are shared. See monthly academic integrity reports.

    See the list of resources on academic integrity for both students and faculty, and learn the Bearcat Commitment.
