The Academic Calendar section on “Discipline for Academic Misconduct” has been updated to introduce an additional path for Faculties (Deans’ offices) to respond to allegations of academic misconduct. The new formal diversionary process includes an integrity plan in which Faculties and students can develop a plan of action to respond to academic misconduct.
At the Vancouver campus, the diversionary process will be facilitated by the Academic Integrity Hub in the Office of the Provost & Vice-President Academic. The objectives of the Hub are to support Faculties and students as they navigate this new process, and to continue to develop resources and educational materials on academic integrity and academic misconduct. Further information about how this process will be implemented at the Vancouver campus is available at https://academicintegrity.ubc.ca/diversionary-process/.
In support of the new process, we have updated the Academic Integrity website with additional resources and support information.
The diversionary process pilot for UBC Vancouver will commence with the Faculty of Science (Winter Session 2022/2023, Term 1) and is applicable to eligible cases committed in courses offered by the Faculty of Science. It is intended that further Faculties will be added through a staged rollout.
