Step 1:
Faculty Notifies Student of Academic Incident
When it is suspected that a student has committed an academic incident, the faculty member will investigate. The faculty will notify the student via their Conestoga email within three business days that an academic incident is pending investigation.
Step 2:
Student Response
Once the email is delivered, the student has three business days to respond to their faculty.
Step 3:
Decision Outcome
A decision is made based on available evidence and the faculty will make a decision based on the balance of probabilities (more likely than not). There are two outcomes:
If it is determined an academic incident occurred, the faculty has three business days to file the incident on the Employee Portal. If the student does not reply within three business days the faculty may file the incident.
Once an outcome has been decided, the student is notified via automatic email to their Conestoga email.
If a student receives an incident, they must complete the learning modules found on eConestoga.
