Proposal for Consideration
The Levels of Infraction (and resulting consequences) for Academic Integrity violations has been modeled
on the existing RTC process, with enhancements added to address Academic Integrity violations.
Academic Integrity Violation Process
The existing RTC process (with a maximum of 6 offenses per school year) is summarized in the table
below. Those consequences shown in italics are the Academic Integrity Policy enhancements. The
progression of incidents assumes they are occurring in different classes. Repeated incidents in the same
class are discussed following the table.

Note 1: All Academic Integrity violations are considered “Major” on the RTC form, using Incident Type
“Lying/Cheating/Plagiarism.”
Note 2: Eligibility for extra-curricular activities is based on existing code of conduct. There are no changes
for Academic Integrity violations.
Note 3: Academic integrity issues may be assessed on the common application the junior and senior
year.
Repeated Incidents in the Same Class:
Upon the Second Incident in the same class, the student is placed on academic probation for the
remainder of the semester in that class. At end of the semester Administration will determine:
1. If student will receive their current letter grade for that semester, or receive one letter grade less;
and
2. The status of student eligibility for AP track next semester.
Repeated Incidents in the Subsequent School Years:
Once a student accumulates one Academic Integrity incident in any school year, the student
automatically starts off at the 2nd Incident level in subsequent school years (i.e., no more 1st offenses are
allowed for Academic Integrity).
