• If a student gives help to someone and has an I on their transcript: 1/3rd letter grade decrement in the class

    If a student receives help from someone and has an I on their transcript: 0 on the assignment and a 1/3rd letter grade decrement

    Either scenario above but has a letter grade, not an I: 10-30 Hours of community service and/or Reflective Essay

  • Yes, schedule a meeting here: https://myadvising.lsa.umich.edu/appointments/offices/ECAS and they will assist you in filling out an Admission of Responsibility (AOR). The vast majority of students choose this option because it guarantees you the lowest possible punishment, lets you skip the whole Honor Council process, and you will have no mark on your transcript so no graduate schools or employers will know about the violation. Once you sign the form it will take a few weeks for your grade to change.

  • Yes.

  • If the case is different in nature to the first case you will get the same kind of punishment as a first-time violation (i.e your first case was stealing code and now you decided to take an exam for your friend). 2nd time violations may result in suspension or expulsion. The typical punishment for a second-time violation is a 0 on the assignment and a 2/3rd letter grade decrement in the class + a mark on your transcript that graduate schools and employers can see.

  • Yes, you will get an additional punishment for lying such a mark on your transcript. If we have evidence to prove you are lying you will get additional punishments.

  • You can go to Ohio State.

  • Any STEM student at the University of Michigan with 3 or more years on their degree. Yes that means we accept LSA and graduate students.

  • No. Your transcript and diploma will be on hold until you resolve the case. Your case will be top priority so contact us and we will get right on it.

  • Your transcript and diploma will be on hold until you do the hours. You will not be allowed to graduate or enroll in classes.

  • Yes, but only if there is new evidence, or the Honor Council mishandled the case. Email us if you would like an appeal and your reason for appealing.

  • Yes, you can. It is kind of strange. People have done this and it’s your right as a student, but very unnecessary and it won’t change the punishment since we go off precedents. The person you bring with you cannot speak during the meeting.

  • MOSS. It is a program that EECS uses to compare your code to everyone else who has taken the class or is currently enrolled.

  • Besides the ones where people commit felonies (yes really), we aren’t allowed to discuss specific case details. Actually, there was this one case with a giraffe where one guy… nevermind.
