Academic Misconduct & Procedures

every community has guidelines, and so do we.

The student conduct process at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is an integral part of the educational mission of the university. The University’s student conduct system emphasizes the development of each student’s acceptance of his/her own personal and social responsibilities. A compassionate and supportive approach to student conduct is employed whenever possible.

The university has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity and to develop procedures to effectively managed alleged instances of academic dishonesty. And UWSP students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others’ academic endeavors.
