SECTION II: Policies and Procedures for all Students
Policy on Academic and Professional Integrity
Introduction:
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Integrity is defined as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.” Integrity in academic and professional endeavors is a core value and guiding principle at the School of Nursing (SON). At the SON, we seek to promote and ensure academic and professional integrity among all members of our community: students, faculty, staff, and administrators. It is integral to our pursuit of being ‘ever better’ in our efforts towards discovery, care delivery, and translation. It is under these conditions that trust, and open communication are promoted; together, these qualities make intellectual inquiry and growth possible.
Academic and professional integrity requires that we approach our individual and collaborative work at the SON earnestly and honestly. We must maintain accountability for our work and acknowledge our debt to the work of others. It is expected that all students enrolled in any course or program within the SON adhere to standards outlined in this policy relating to academic and professional integrity. Members of the SON community share in the obligations to promote honesty, respect, and responsibility in all aspects of our academic and clinical work.
The SON’s academic and professional integrity policy and procedures are designed to promote a just and trustworthy community that ensures equity, clarity, and in cases of alleged academic and professional misconduct, consistency in our adjudication.
All students matriculated or non-matriculated, must review the SON Academic and Professional Integrity Policy at the beginning of each course and complete the attestation. Failure to complete the attestation does not excuse the obligation to abide by it.
To whom does the policy pertain Link to section
ALL SON students, graduate and undergraduate matriculated or non-matriculated, enrolled in any SON course.
Violations of Academic or Professional Integrity Link to section
The University of Rochester School of Nursing Academic and Professional Integrity Policy reflects the school’s commitment to equal opportunity for student success and the fair and consistent handling of allegations of academic or professional misconduct. Any behavior that provides an unfair advantage to one student or a group of students is unacceptable. All academic and clinical work completed by a student must be solely a reflection of that student's work, including contributions to a collaborative assignment.
Violations of academic integrity may include, but are not limited to: Link to section
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty and is committed when an individual uses the ideas or writings of another as one’s own without appropriate attribution or citation. Plagiarism is literary theft, regardless of whether it is intentional or unintentional.
Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to:
Failure to cite works used in assignments.
The submission of papers or assignments that are purchased or that were originally authored by another person or previous student.
It is expected that all students use APA style (7th edition) in scholarly work.
Fabrication and Falsification:
Fabrication or falsification is altering information or inventing information, citation, or data.
Examples may include:
A student changes an assignment after submission and then challenges the instructor’s evaluation.
A student invents a reference source or provides a false claim of how the information was obtained; false citation of a source of information (e.g., listing an author, title, or page number as the source for the obtained information, but the material came from another source). (See also plagiarism)
A student forges signatures or falsifies information on forms, such as clinical logs, preceptor evaluations, forms, petitions, letters of excuse or permission, grade reports, or any SON or university document.
Cheating:
Cheating is the attempted or unauthorized use of assistance, materials, information, notes, study aids, technology, or communication during an academic exercise. Examples include:
Fabrication of data.
Taking an examination or completing an assignment for another student.
Obtaining or providing test information to another student.
Collusion:
Collusion occurs when students collaborate with another person or persons when independent work is assigned. Unless specified by the faculty, all out-of-class work, including take-home exams, must be completed independently.
Working with others to complete at-home or out-of-class assignments is an example of collusion, which is academic dishonesty.
Violations of professional integrity may include, but are not limited to: Link to section
Professional Misconduct:
Professional Misconduct is defined as behavior by a nurse, either in active practice or who is studying to become a member of the profession, which compromises or violates ethical standards as defined by the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics (2015).
Failure to uphold the nurse’s obligations related to professional conduct includes but is not limited to non-discrimination, confidentiality, respect in all forms of behavior and communication, truthfulness, and scope of practice limitations.
Expectations of Professional Conduct Link to section
Confidentiality Link to section
Associated with a right to privacy, the student must maintain the confidentiality of protected health information (PHI) of those they serve. All personal health information is to be protected in any verbal, written, or electronic setting. Discussion of personal information in a public setting constitutes a breach of confidentiality, as does the inclusion of PHI in any written submitted work.
Nondiscrimination Link to section
It is unethical for a student to refuse to participate in the care of a person based on that person’s race, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, health/disease status, gender, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. It is ethical for a pregnant student to refuse to participate in activities that pose a risk to their unborn fetus.
Professional Demeanor Link to section
All students are expected to always demonstrate a professional and respectful demeanor when interacting with members of the community at the School of Nursing (e.g., peers, faculty, and staff) as well as patients and families. Unprofessional demeanor includes the use of unprofessional dress, facial expression, body language, gestures, or remarks.
Students must maintain a professional appearance and dress in attire appropriate for a healthcare environment. Professional demeanor also includes timely arrival for all academic and professional activities.
Respect for Others Link to section
All students are expected to treat classmates, faculty, staff, patients, research participants, and family members with respect and dignity at all times, both in their presence and in discussions about them with professional colleagues. It is expected that students will identify themselves as students in classroom, community, and clinical settings to avoid misrepresentation of licensure and certification status.
Students are expected to ensure patient safety by working within the scope of practice, seeking assistance when patient needs exceed the student’s capacity, and refraining from the use of alcohol, illicit drugs, or medications that may cause impairment. Students are expected to refrain from engaging in romantic, sexual, or other nonprofessional relationships with patients or faculty.
Respect for Property Link to section
Students are expected to behave in a manner that demonstrates respect for property, including buildings, green spaces, tangible goods, intellectual property, technology, and equipment. Respect for property also involves helping to foster a positive and supportive learning environment. This standard requires students to respect personal and institutional property, inside and outside the University of Rochester School of Nursing community.
Violations of respect for property include but are not limited to property damage and theft.
The Committee on Academic and Professional Integrity (CoAPI) Link to section
Purpose: The Committee on Academic and Professional Integrity investigates allegations of academic and/or professional misconduct brought by any member of the SON faculty, administration, or support staff against any student, currently or previously enrolled in SON courses.

General Guidelines for Suspected Cases of Academic Dishonesty or Professional Misconduct Link to section
Cases of suspected academic or professional misconduct involving matriculated and non-matriculated nursing students will be acted upon first by the SON faculty and referred to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs or appointed designee.
Ignorance of the UR and SON standards does not excuse academic or professional misconduct.
Students will be presumed not responsible for wrongdoing until responsibility has been determined per the procedures outlined below.
Students have the right to appeal any judgment and/or sanction per the procedures outlined below.
Every effort will be made to see that proceedings will be prompt and that final decisions will be rendered promptly.
Procedures for Reporting: Instructor Resolution Process Link to section
If an incident of academic or professional misconduct is suspected, the faculty member will meet with the student to address the concern. If the faculty member determines the incident is minor and likely related to inexperience, and the student demonstrates an understanding of the seriousness of the problem and agrees to take positive action to remedy the situation and not repeat the offense, the faculty member will complete a SON Counseling Form. The faculty member may choose to impose sanctions or not. Consultation with the Program Director or Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs prior to meeting with the student is welcomed and recommended.
The completed form will be sent to the SON Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs for review. It will be kept on file in a confidential digital file until the student’s graduation or separation from the SON. The program director and the specialty director will be notified of the Counseling Form filing whether or not a sanction is given.
SON Academic and Professional Misconduct Counseling Form:
Without Sanction - used to address minor violations where faculty considers the experience level of the student and potential educational opportunity that exists with counseling.
With Sanctions - used to address minor violations; however, the faculty member has decided to impose a sanction (e.g., point deduction/grade reduction).
Procedures for Reporting: CoAPI Inquiry into Suspected Academic or Professional Misconduct Link to section
If the incident is not resolved at the instructor level, or if the faculty member deems the violation to be more serious (i.e., repeated minor violation or higher violation; see sanctioning guidelines), then the faculty member will review their concerns with the student and verbally notify the student that the incident is being forwarded to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs for further review.
The faculty member will complete an Academic Integrity and Professional Misconduct Reporting Form and send this to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, who will review the form, including meeting with the person(s) involved, and will decide whether to:
Dismiss the case or
Forward the case to the CoAPI for further investigation.
If the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs or appointed designee rules to dismiss the case, they will inform the faculty member and student in writing.
If the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs or appointed designee rules that the case should be considered suspected misconduct, they will contact the CoAPI chairperson and will forward the Professional Misconduct Reporting Form to them.
The student will be offered the opportunity to review a copy of the facts of the incident containing the allegation that was provided by the faculty member.
The CoAPI Chairperson will:
Notify the student in writing that the incident has been forwarded to the committee for review and the student has the right to submit a written statement addressing the allegation within three business days. The chair’s letter will describe, with reasonable specificity, the incident being reviewed and include a copy of the Academic and Professional Integrity Policy.
Form an ad hoc committee consisting of CoAPI members to review the case. The ad hoc committee is chaired by a faculty member and will consist of one additional faculty member and one student representative.
Distribute relevant information regarding the case to the ad hoc committee members.
The Academic Integrity ad hoc Committee will review the file on the case to include input from all involved parties and schedule a hearing.
If the suspected misconduct involves research and/or scientific inquiry, the matter will be evaluated using to process outlined in the University of Rochester’s Graduate Bulletin.
Academic and Professional Integrity Hearings Link to section
A formal hearing will be scheduled.
The hearing is a fact-finding session to arrive at a thorough understanding of the occurrence. It is not a legal proceeding. Legal counsel is not permitted to attend the hearing.
The student may have one support individual attend the hearing. This person is present to provide support, not information surrounding the case; the support person is not able to speak or advocate for the student during the hearing. The student and their support person will not be present when other involved persons meet with the Committee during the hearing. The student has the right to know who will be interviewed as part of the hearing.
All hearings will be digitally recorded.
The student will be invited to the hearing and provided with an opportunity to present their position. Specifically, students will have the opportunity to make a statement addressing the allegation and the evidence contained in the complaint. The student may read a prepared statement, speak extemporaneously, or present a combination of the two.
Once the student has completed the statement, the committee will ask questions of the student regarding the complaint. The questions may include not only the case under consideration but also the student’s academic experience in other courses as it may be relevant to the alleged violation. The ad hoc committee chair may excuse the student from answering a question.
If, during the hearing, it is determined that additional information is needed from other identified key individuals, the student will be notified about the need for additional inquiry. A committee member will be assigned to contact the key individuals and report back to the ad hoc committee within 24 hours of the hearing or as soon afterward as circumstances allow. The student will be informed of any additional evidence gathered and provided the opportunity to comment on it or respond to it.
Based on the evidence gathered prior to, during, or after the hearing, the ad hoc CoAPI committee will determine responsibility and will forward its findings and recommended sanctions along with the complete file to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. If a student has elected not to attend the hearing, the committee will still make a finding based on all information available to it.
The decision is reached by majority vote; the student is not present for the ad hoc committee vote.
Voting is accomplished via open ballot.
The standard of proof is a preponderance of the evidence, which is if it is more likely than not that the 51 alleged violation was committed.
Only after a finding of responsibility has been made by the ad hoc Committee will it be notified by the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs if the student has previously been found responsible for a breach of academic or professional integrity while enrolled in the current degree (or certificate) program and what sanction was imposed.
The Committee will consider previous academic and professional integrity violations to determine sanctions. The committee will forward its findings, recommended actions, and the complete file to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. Any hard copies of the original materials related to the case will be returned to the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. Digital recording will be saved in a password-protected electronic file.
If an undergraduate student is deemed responsible: Link to section
The Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs will review the CoAPI’s findings and can accept or modify the committee’s recommendations as the final determination.
The Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs will:
Inform the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs/SON Dean of the recommended sanction(s) and
Notify the student in writing of the outcome and imposed sanction(s) as well as their right to appeal the decision.
Notify the CoAPI chair of the decision.
The reporting faculty member and program/specialty director will also be notified of the decision by the CoAPI chair.
If a graduate student is deemed responsible: Link to section
The Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs will:
Inform the Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Innovation/SON Dean of the recommended sanction(s) (as an FYI).
Forward their recommendations to the Vice Provost and University Dean for Graduate Studies to render a final decision following University of Rochester policy.

Notify the student in writing of the outcome and imposed sanction(s) as well as their right to appeal the decision.
Notify the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, who will notify the CoAPI chair.
The reporting faculty member and program/specialty director will also be notified of the decision by the CoAPI.
Sanctioning Guidelines Link to section
The table below reflects examples of sanctions. This table is meant to serve as an example and does not represent all possible sanctions. The School of Nursing and the University have the right to impose different sanctions than appear in the table, based on the facts and circumstances of the specific case. The table has been adapted from The Pennsylvania State University, and sanctions are based on the type of offense.
Type of Offense Link to section
Minor Violations
May be managed at the course level:
Submitting work that misrepresents or does not fairly acknowledge the contributions of others due primarily to inexperience.
Unauthorized collaboration on assignments when the identical work constitutes a small portion of the work submitted.
Other behavior not directly linked to course work that is judged by the faculty or Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs to be minor and having an academic implication.
Moderate violations
Refer to Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs
Moderate violations are quantitatively and/or qualitatively more severe than minor violations, as follows:
Unauthorized collaboration on assignments in which the identical work is more than a small portion of the work submitted.
Submission of work done for another course, or work done in a previous attempt of a repeated course without instructor permission.
Providing a fraudulent excuse for missed coursework or when requesting an extension on an assignment or a rescheduled exam.

Misuse of college-issued username and password.
Major violations
Refer to Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs)
When a minor or moderate offense involves pre-planning, conspiracy with other students or with individuals outside the University or is accompanied by payment to a conspirator; those factors may increase the severity to the level of a major violation.
Plagiarism
Receiving unauthorized assistance on quizzes and exams
Deliberately denying others access to library or course materials.
Facilitating or permitting cheating by another student on a quiz or exam.
Submitting an altered exam for re-grading.
Fabrication or falsification of data, information, citations, etc.
Unauthorized distribution or publication of course-related materials.
Impeding the investigation or conduct of any CoAPI matter.

Sanctioning Table Link to section
| Violation | Considerations | Offense: Academic Sanction Range |
|---|---|---|
Copying: examples include a student looking at another student’s work during an exam, a student copying an assignment from another student, and students exchanging color-coded exams for the purpose of copying. | In determining severity, consider the weight of the exam or the assignment as related to the total percentage of the course grade, the frequency of copied answers or the amount of copied material, whether or not it was premeditated or spontaneous, and any other significant factors. | Minor: Reduced exam or assignment grade to 0 for assignment or exam Moderate: 0 for assignment or exam to the reduce course grade Major: E for course |
Submitting Another Person’s Work as Your Own or Submitting Another Person’s Work Without Proper Citation: for example, a student submits work created by another person as their own; a student presents information indicating it is not the student's work but fails to properly cite the source. These are commonly referred to as plagiarism. | In determining severity, consider the weight of the assignment as related to the total percentage of the course grade, whether or not the fabrication or plagiarism was a substantive portion of the assignment, and attempt to determine whether this was a clear case of intentional dishonesty or careless scholarship. | Minor: Redo the assignment with a reduction in grade to 0 for assignment with or without redoing of assignment Moderate: Reduction in final course grade in addition to 0 for assignment Major: E for course |
Unauthorized Test Possession, Purchase, or Supplying: for example, when a student possesses an exam without the instructor’s permission; a student purchases or steals an exam; a student fails to return an exam that was requested to be returned; a student makes a copy of an exam; or sells an exam | With rare exceptions, this form of misconduct is premeditated and deceptive with the intent to defraud. How the exam was obtained is critical in determining appropriate action. A student may access old exams and not be aware viewing the exam is a violation. In other instances, a student may have stolen an exam or is found in possession of an exam knowing it is not permitted. | Minor: 0 for exam Moderate: Reduction in course grade to E for the course. Major: E for course |
Ghosting: for example, a student takes a quiz or exam or completes an exercise or assignment on behalf of another student. NOTE: it is possible that students involved in such violations may not be enrolled in the instructor's class and there is not an option to assign an academic sanction. In such instances, the instructor should notify the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. | Although this form of misconduct is inherently premeditated and deceptive, severity should be assessed based on the percentage of course grade the violation entails. Faculty may also consider the nature of the deception - for example, signing in for another student to gain class participation points vs. having another student complete an assignment or take an exam for a student. | Minor (primarily used when ghosting was for participation points or in-class low credit assignment): 0 for participation points; 0 for assignment to reduced grade for course participation credit. Moderate: 0 for quiz or exam and reduction in course grade Major: E for course |
Altering Exams or Assignments: for example, a student changes incorrect answers and requests a favorable grade adjustment when instructor returns graded assignments/exams for review; a student changes the letter and/or numerical grade on an exam/assignment after the instructor has assigned the final grade. | This form of misconduct is deceptive with the intent to defraud and may also affect the credibility of an instructor. Consideration should be given to whether the act was premeditated or spontaneously committed out of panic. In determining severity, consider the extent to which the exam or assignment was altered, the weight of the exam as related to the total percentage of the course grade, and other significant factors. | Minor: 0 for exam or assignment Moderate: Reduced course grade to E in course Major: E for course |
Improper use of technology: for example, a student possesses and/or uses a cell phone when one is not permitted; a student uses software or electronic aids such as computers, and handheld devices, etc. when not permitted by the instructor. | When sanctioning, consider if the technology was used for misconduct. Also, consider whether the misconduct was premeditated, the impact it potentially had on the student’s course grade, and the level of dishonest activity in which the student engaged. | Minor: Warning to a reduction in assignment or exam grade Note: When students possess an unauthorized electronic device but there appears no evidence of intended use, a faculty may issue a warning and not reduce the student's course grade Moderate: Reduced course grade Major: E for course |
Facilitating Academic Dishonesty by Others: for example, a student permits another student to copy an exam or assignment; a student provides a completed assignment to another student and allows the student to submit it as his or her own; a student writes another student’s paper or completes another student’s assignment and then provides it to the student so they may receive credit; a student shares information about an exam with another student who has not taken the exam. NOTE: it is possible that students involved in such violations may not be enrolled in an instructor's class and the instructor may not have the option to assign an academic sanction. In such instances, the instructor should notify the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. | For students who are enrolled in the class, consider the impact their actions had on the grade of the student they were assisting in measuring the severity of the violation. | Minor: Reduced assignment grade for what the student submitted Moderate: 0 for assignment student submitted Major: Reduced grade in the course |
Submitting Work Previously Used Without Permission: for example, a student submits work completed previously for another course or assignment without the instructor's permission. *This violation assumes that the work submitted is the student's work, submitted on more than one previous occasion. | Students appear to be less informed regarding this form of academic dishonesty, and in some cases, you may find that this breach inadvertently occurs some degree as compared to other forms of academic dishonesty. | Minor: Warning and redo assignment to redo assignment and reduced grade for assignment Moderate: Redo assignment with reduced grade to 0 for assignment Major: 0 for assignment to E in the course |
Unauthorized Collaboration: for example, working with another student on an assignment or exam. | When sanctioning, consider whether or not the misconduct was premeditated, the impact it potentially had on the student’s course grade, and the level of dishonest activity in which the student engaged. Faculty may wish to consider a more serious sanction when students were explicitly instructed not to collaborate. | Minor: Redo assignment. Reduced assignment or exam grade Moderate: 0 for assignment or exam Major: 0 for assignment or exam and reduction in course grade |
Unauthorized Use of Study Aids: for example, using or possessing crib sheets; preprogramming an electronic device to provide solutions; using notes, texts, etc. without the permission of the instructor. | When sanctioning, consider whether or not the misconduct was premeditated, the impact it potentially had on the student’s course grade, and the level of dishonest activity in which the student engaged. | Minor: Reduced exam grade Moderate: Failure of exam per Grading System. Major: E for course |
For cases related to professional misconduct, sanctions may include but are not limited to:
- Take no action.
- Send the student a letter of concern/advice as part of the student record.
- Remedial action (e.g., write a paper on professionalism)
- Disciplinary action (e.g., mandated leave of absence)
- Dismissal from the program
- Expulsion (student not allowed to reapply to program)
Appeal Process Link to section
Grounds for appeal may only include the following:
New evidence regarding the allegation was not available during the formal hearing process.
An error in the process occurred significant enough to affect the outcome.
Severity of sanction
An undergraduate student who wishes to appeal the decision regarding his or her responsibility and/or sanction may appeal that decision to the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education in writing within 7 days of the decision. The Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education determination will be made within two weeks, or longer as circumstances may require. The decision of the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education is final.
The Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education will notify the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs and CoAPI chair of the appeal decision. The reporting faculty member and program/specialty director will also be notified of the appeal decision by the CoAPI chair.
A graduate student who wishes to appeal the decision regarding his or her responsibility and/or sanction may appeal that decision to the University Provost, in writing, within 7 days of the decision. The University Provost’s determination will be made within two weeks, or longer as circumstances may require. The decision of the Provost is final.
The Provost will notify the Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs of the appeal decision. The Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs will inform the Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Innovation and the CoAPI chair of the appeal decision. The reporting faculty member and program/specialty director will also be notified of the appeal decision by the CoAPI chair.
Records Link to section
Record Sharing: Records about matters of academic or professional misconduct will be shared with those at the school or university on a need-to-know basis only. In some cases, records may be disclosed outside the university, such as when required by law or governmental request, or with the student’s consent.
Record Keeping: All records/materials regarding a responsible case of academic or professional misconduct will be kept digitally on file in the School of Nursing, for 10 years or until the student completes all degree (or certificate) requirements (if program duration exceeds 10 years).
Document Management: Records relating to integrity cases will be kept separate from the academic file, and access will be limited as described above.
