Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I complete a Student Infraction Form?
- Within 15 days of detecting the alleged violation, you should complete either the online Academic Infraction Reporting Form or the Behavioral Infraction Reporting Form. You are then asked to meet with the student to discuss the alleged academic infraction and sanction and provide the student with their options (use the Academic Misconduct email template as a guide for this conversation)
- Why should I file a charge of academic misconduct against a student? Why can't I just impose a penalty on the student?
- MGA has a policy related to academic misconduct. This policy is designed to protect the due process rights of the student, to protect you, and to protect the institution. When you chose to impose sanctions outside of policy guidelines, you are operating without the protection provided by the policy.
- Regarding matters of Academic Misconduct, should I call the Office of Academic Affairs before I approach the student?
- You can always contact us via email at studentconduct@mga.edu. However, you do not need to contact us before completing the form or speaking with the student. If we determine that the student has a history of academic infractions, we will reach back out to you and the student to discuss further.
- Why should I follow the student conduct policies?
- These student conduct policies ensure that the due process rights of students are upheld. Consistent adherence to the policies by all MGA faculty and staff also ensure that all students are treated the same way every time, thereby reducing any appearance of unfairness or discrimination.
