Transcript What Happens if Your Student Gets Caught Cheating - BYU-I

What Happens if Your
Student is Observed
Participating in
What Appears to be
an Inappropriate
Activity
While in the Testing Center
Someone Cheated
• We never accuse anyone of
“cheating”.
We never use the word “cheat”.
We observe and report things that appear to be inappropriate
• It is the Instructors responsibility to
determine if cheating really did take
place.
• We provide a written report of what was
said and observed and any evidence we
collect.
Are They Cheating?
• If we think someone might be
cheating, we get a second
witness to verify it.
• We ask the student to come
out of the test room.
• The student is informed that
“we have observed activity
that we think is inappropriate”.
• We excuse the student and
score the test.
A Note!
• We confiscate the notes
or any evidence involved.
• If they wrote on their
hand we make a copy of
their hand on the copy
machine
May I
see the
note?
Caught Cheating
• Anytime we observe
inappropriate activity
we fill out an “Integrity
Report”.
• We make copies of all
of the evidence and
the report. One copy
is for the instructor,
one for the Student
Honor Office, and one
is kept on file.
.
We give them a “What Now Card”. We call you to
let you know what has happened. After we give
you the evidence it is up to you and the Student
Honor Office.
You have been dismissed from the Testing Center for conduct observed to have been in
violation of Testing Center policy. A written report of what was seen, together with
any physical evidence, such as books, notes, etc., will be forwarded to your instructor
for evaluation. A copy of the written report will also be forwarded to the Honor Code
Office.

If you feel you have been unjustly accused, you are welcome to request a review in
person with the Manager of the Testing Center. This appointment must be made
by10:00AM of the next working day. (Monday – Friday)
Got the Wrong Test!
• If a student takes the test in the test room
and then tells us that it is the wrong one
after they have answered more that half of
the questions or they have had it for an
extended amount of time we will score it.
The score will be removed from the record
only if the instructor tells us to do so.
NOTE: This may be an excuse to
look at the test and take it later
with an unfair advantage.
