These rules establish standards for student academic integrity at Eastern Washington University (EWU). EWU expects the highest standards of academic integrity of its students. Academic integrity is the responsibility of both students and instructors. The university supports the instructor in setting and maintaining standards of academic integrity. Academic integrity is the foundation of a fair and supportive learning environment for all students. Personal responsibility for academic performance is essential for equitable assessment of student accomplishments. Charges of violations of academic integrity are reviewed through a process that allows for student learning and impartial review.

These rules apply to all EWU instructors, staff, and students admitted to the university, including conditional or probationary admittance, and to all departments and programs, in all locations, including online. These rules provide procedures for resolving alleged violations by students. All academic integrity proceedings are brief adjudicative proceedings and shall be conducted in an informal manner. If the potential sanction for a violation of this policy is a suspension or expulsion, the academic integrity board will refer the matter for a full adjudicative proceeding under the Student conduct code, chapter 172-121 WAC, as detailed below in WAC 172-90-100, 172-90-160, and 172-90-170.
