          Not published to students
          Current
          Academic Staff can make referrals if they suspect an assignment may show signs of Academic Misconduct.

          Students should make themselves aware of the possible reasons for Academic Misconduct and the outcomes that can be given if a finding is made, these can be found within the Academic Regulations. 

          Students can access support throughout the process from either Niamh Moore, SU Education President, or Advent Advocacy who can be contacted through the Student Union. 

          The decision of an Academic Misconduct Panel is taken to the University Exam Board. If students are unhappy with the panels decision, they may submit an Academic Appeal via the Academic Appeals Procedure. 

          If making an appeal, students should be reminded of the following clause within the Academic Regulations:

          29.3 A student may not present extenuating circumstances in mitigation of any type of academic misconduct.
