Academic Integrity and Disciplinary Process
Academic integrity is to take responsibility for one’s own work and respect the work of others. This includes being honest, respectful, and responsible with the work of others. Acts of academic dishonesty/misconduct undermine the learning process, present a disadvantage to students who earn credit honestly, and subvert the academic mission of the institution.
In the spirit of promoting an exchange of knowledge in an environment that encourages honesty, support, and respect, ACC has established student complaint procedures. The student complaint procedures are set to address concerns that arise within the College community. The purpose of the following student complaint process is to define appropriate processes for complaints, ensure due process for all parties to the complaint, and comply with the obligations imposed by federal regulations for receiving, responding to and tracking student complaints.
