Academic Integrity Module

According to the Student Disciplinary Policies & Procedures, "Students found responsible for knowing or intentional violations of academic dishonesty will normally receive an 'Academic Dishonesty' notation on the student's official University transcript.

A student may petition the Vice President to have the "Academic Dishonesty" notation removed from his/her transcript if:

1. A minimum of one year has elapsed since the sanction was imposed; and

2. The student has successfully completed the University's 'Academic Integrity Matters'        seminar or alternate educational activity approved by the Vice President; and

3. The student has not been found in violation of other Academic Dishonesty violations during the student's tenure at the University" (p. 9).

The Virtual Academic Integrity Lab (VAIL), created by the University of Maryland-College Park's University College, fulfills the educational activity necessary to petition the Vice President.  Students wishing to have an Academic Dishonesty notation removed from their transcript, or students wishing to learn more about Academic Integrity, should complete the VAIL modules.
