University Policy 407, Code of Student Academic Integrity

  August 31, 2021

Status: Revised

The Code of Student Academic Integrity has been revised to clarify the definition of "cheating" and help faculty members identify the appropriate, more specific charge for a student's behavior; to add the adjudication option of “In Absentia Resolution" to allow for a case to be resolved in a student’s absence if they have not responded to meeting requests; and to clarify that for fairness and equity purposes, all resolutions, even informal ones, will be a part of a student’s academic integrity record.

Status: Revised

University Policy 715, Security Cameras, has been revised to clarify certain terms and processes, including adding definitions for key terms; excluding body-worn cameras from the definition of Security Cameras; streamlining the review and approval process of installation requests; adding consideration of advancing technologies related to personal privacy; and making clear that Security Camera recordings are considered “criminal intelligence records” for public records purposes.



University Policy 318, Authorship Policy and Resolution Procedures

  May 25, 2021

Status: Newly Approved

Experience and empirical evidence at UNC Charlotte have shown that authorship disputes arise and can be damaging to mentor/mentee and collaborator relationships.

Thus, establishing an authorship policy with resolution procedures and providing training regarding open and transparent authorship decision making will help to foster a culture of integrity in research.

Status: Newly Approved
