An Academic Integrity Officer will provide access to original case documentation as well as supplemental information from the Appeal Filing. Upon receipt of this information, the department chair has 10 business days to complete a review and determine an Appeal Finding. The Academic Integrity Policy allows for the creation of an ad hoc committee to evaluate the evidence and submit a recommendation to the department chair, who will then submit a final Appeal Finding within 5 business days. All department chair decisions are final. More detailed information can be found in section C of the Student Academic Integrity Policy
The faculty, administration, and students all have had input on the formulation of Student Academic Integrity Policy (UNT Policy 6.003). The university has deemed academic integrity a value intrinsic to education and to the validity of a UNT degree. During the formulation of the policy, it was determined that department chairs (or a committee they appoint) were the appropriate people to handle Academic Integrity violations.
