10 Capsule History of the University of Michigan-Dearborn Statement was formulated; (2) a new set of Campus Bylaws provided for a newly formed Faculty Senate; and (3) funds were received from the State for the construction of four major new facilities for the School of Engineering, the College of Business, the Center for Corporate and Professional Development, and the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters. In July of 2000, the Board of Regents appointed Daniel Little as UM- Dearborn's fifth Chancellor. Under Chancellor Little's leadership the campus has achieved record enrollment growth, increased the academic quality of the student body, and improved the academic support system for student success. During these years the campus came to embrace a metropolitan vision that encourages engagement with the community by students, faculty, and staff. Particular areas of metropolitan focus include supporting advanced manufacturing, contributing to racial and ethnic equality, enhancing P-K-12 education, addressing urban environmental issues, and contributing to progress in health care and health equity. Little has helped to build strong relationships between UM-Dearborn and a wide range of community-based organizations to enhance the impact and partnership of the university in the Detroit metropolitan region. The Chancellor also led the campus in establishing a public-private partnership to offer a student-housing option for the first time on campus since the 1980s. In 2009, UM-Dearborn welcomed its fourth Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Dr. Catherine A. Davy. Under her leadership, the School of Education was transformed into the College of Education, Health, and Human Services with a focus on health studies. In addition, a new campus-wide general education program titled the Dearborn Discovery Core was developed. Finally, in the fall 2014, Provost Davy led the successful reaccreditation of UM-Dearborn by the Higher Learning Commission..

Academic Code of Conduct
I. General Principles
The Academic Code of Conduct (ACC) for the University of Michigan- Dearborn is based on the premise that undergraduate and graduate students will perform honestly and ethically on all tests, projects, and assignments. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner conducive to an environment of academic integrity and of respect for the educational process. Therefore, an individual should realize that deception for the purpose of individual gain is an offense against the members of the community. All students and instructors are required to familiarize themselves with the ACC, its implications and effects. Any alleged or affirmed violation of the ACC by undergraduate or graduate students will be dealt with in accordance with the procedures described below. An alleged violation is defined as an incident in which an instructor discovered a potential offense of the ACC by a student. An affirmed violation is defined as an incident for which the time has elapsed for an allegation the student did not appeal or if the student filed a timely appeal, the academic integrity board has entered a decision that the student is responsible for the misconduct.
II. Prohibited Academic Conduct
The actions cited as prohibited conduct should be used as a guide rather than an exhaustive list of behaviors that the University considers misconduct and subject to disciplinary action.
- Plagiarism: includes representing the words, ideas, or work of others as one’s own in writing or presentations, and failing to give proper credit to the original source; failing to properly acknowledge and cite language from another source, including paraphrased text; failing to properly cite any ideas, images, technical work, creative content, or other material taken from published or unpublished sources in any medium, including online material or oral presentations, and including the author’s own previous work.
- Cheating: includes copying from other’s exam or other evaluative assignment; referring to or using notes, books, digital devices or resources, or other materials for an exam or other evaluative assignment without explicit permission of the instructor; submitting work that was previously used for another class without the informed permission of the instructor; discussing or sharing information about questions or answers on an exam or other evaluative assignment without explicit permission of the instructor; giving, taking, or receiving a copy of an exam without explicit permission of the instructor; allowing another person to take an exam or complete an assignment for the student; attempting to change the result of an exam or other evaluation.
- Fabrication: includes alterations to transcripts, grades, letters of recommendation, or other evaluations of or for any current or former student.
- Aiding and Abetting: includes altering documents affecting academic records; aiding others to commit any act prohibited by the ACC; effort to aid or encourage the academic misconduct of others, such as encouraging another student to share individually assigned work with other students; forging a signature of authorization or falsifying information on an official academic document, election form, grade report, letter of permission, petition, or any document designed to meet or exempt a student from an established University or unit academic regulation.
- Interference: obstructing or hindering the work or study of a member of the faculty, or staff, or a student at the University.
III. Notice, Initial Finding, and Reporting
to the Dean of Students Office
- Notice. To the extent practical, an instructor has ten (10) academic calendar days [1] from the discovery of a potential offense of the ACC to inform the student(s) of the offense. The instructor shall inform the student of the nature of the ACC charges; explain the possible sanctions that may be imposed as a result of the allegation; provide an opportunity to the student to meet with the instructor[2] (p. ); and inform the student that the case may be reported to the Dean of Students Office if the student does not respond in five (5) academic calendar days.
- Initial Meeting. At the initial meeting with the instructor, the student will have the opportunity to be heard, ask questions, see all the evidence the instructor can obtain at the time, and accept or refute the allegation. This meeting should occur in a timely fashion and, if practicable, within fifteen (15) academic calendar days from the instructor’s initial notice provided to the student. After the
University of Michigan-Dearborn 17 meeting, the instructor will find the student either responsible or not responsible for the alleged violation of the ACC, and in the earlier case shall report the matter to the Dean of Students Office in a timely fashion and, if practicable, within twenty (20) academic calendar days from the initial contact with the student, as specified in Steps 3 and 4 below. If the student does not respond within five (5) academic calendar days of the instructor’s initial contact, or does not appear for the scheduled meeting, the instructor will proceed to find the student either responsible or not responsible for the alleged violation and report the matter to the Dean of Students Office in a timely fashion and, if practicable, within ten (10) academic calendar days from the initial contact with the student, as specified in Steps 3 and 4 below.
- Reporting to the Dean of Students Office. All cases where the instructor finds the student responsible shall be reported as outlined in this Policy to the Dean of Students Office. In the report, the instructor shall include all supporting documentation, and imposed sanctions, using the online reporting form[3] (p. ) and inform the student that a report of the incident has been submitted to the Dean of Students Office, and the student has the right to appeal after receiving a notification from the Dean of Students Office unless the violation is an informal one as specified in Step 4 below.
- Instructor Resolution and Informal Reporting. Instructors may wish to resolve a basic case of misconduct at the classroom level. Specifically, if the student has accepted responsibility for the allegation and course level sanctions, then the instructor may choose to check the option “informal if eligible” when reporting the matter to the Dean of Students Office outlined in this Policy. However, if the option is checked but the student is ineligible for a new informal violation, as specified below, then the student can still appeal the allegation. If the option “informal if eligible” is checked and the student has zero (0) or one (1) informal violation on records, then the student has one more informal violation recorded and the matter will be considered closed. The Dean of Students Office shall keep records of informal ACC violations, but not in the University Academic Integrity Database. Any undergraduate or graduate student can have a maximum of two (2) informal violations. Any alleged violation may be reported either to be with or without the option “informal if eligible” being checked; even the first time alleged violation of a student may be reported without the option “informal if eligible” being checked; and an alleged violation of a student with affirmed violations may be reported with the option “informal if eligible” being checked. Besides classroom sanctions, if required by the Dean of Students Office, students with informal violations shall attend ACC training programs.
- Confirmation of Finding. Upon receiving a report from an instructor, if the option “informal if eligible” is not checked or the student has two (2) informal violations on records and thus is ineligible for any more informal violations, the Dean of Students Office shall send an email or letter which secures a delivery receipt to the student within five (5) academic calendar days of receiving the report of the alleged violation with the following information: 1) allegation of misconducts, along with all documentation submitted by the instructor; 2) notification that the record of the alleged incident is in the University Academic Integrity Database; 3) explanation of the services and support provided by the Ombuds Services Office in the Division of Student Affairs in relation to ACC violations, and encourage students to contact the Ombuds Services Office regarding the alleged violation for their own protection; 4) the student has the right to appeal through the Academic Integrity Board in the college offering the course within ten (10) academic calendar days of receiving the notification letter from the Dean of Students Office, and the alleged violation becomes an affirmed violation and college wide sanctions specified in Section VII.2 apply if the student does not appeal on time; 5) if the student chooses to appeal, then the student needs to initiate an appeal by completing and submitting to the Dean of Students Office a copy of the Academic Appeal Form, along with supporting documentation; and 6) if the student has a prior affirmed violation in the University Academic Integrity Database, the Dean of Students will provide information related to the consequences of a repeat violation. Any instructional faculty member or proctoring service staff may submit an online report even if the member or staff does not have the direct authority to impose an appropriate penalty. The reporting person, if not the instructor of the student involved, shall first contact the instructor if possible. Under no circumstances should the reporting person share confidential information about the ACC process or case with others, except with the responsible Associate Dean/Department Chair/Program Head in the college offering the course, the Dean of Students Office, and the instructor of record.
IV. Academic Integrity Board Jurisdiction,
Composition, and Conflict of Interest
In each college, there shall be established an Academic Integrity Board, which shall be a permanent standing committee and have jurisdiction over alleged violations of the ACC. The Board shall consist of at least three (3) full-time instructors and at least two (2) non-voting students, the Ombuds Services Office director or designee as an ex-officio, non-voting, advisory member, and the student conduct officer or designee from the Dean of Students Office as an ex-officio, non-voting, advisory member. The instructors shall be appointed by the college’s executive committee and the Student Government President shall select the student members who shall have no record of alleged or affirmed ACC violations. A chair of the Board, chosen from its members, shall function as the administrative head. Members of the Board shall disqualify themselves from hearing a case if they believe their capacity for making an objective judgment in the case is or may reasonably appear to be impaired. Members should not disqualify themselves for any other reason. Replacements for disqualified members shall be selected in the manner described in paragraph one of Section IV.
V. Academic Integrity Board Procedure for
ACC Violations and Appeals
- At each hearing or meeting, three voting Board members need to attend. A hearing of the Academic Integrity Board shall be called by the Dean of Students Office if a student appeals the finding(s) against them within ten (10) academic calendar days of receiving the letter from the Dean of Students Office.
- If the student does not appeal, the Dean of Students Office shall inform the instructor to confirm the accusation, and ensure that the affirmed ACC violations be entered into the University Academic Integrity Database, and shall conduct a search of the database for prior affirmed ACC violations by the student.
- If the student appeals, then the Dean of Students Office shall schedule a hearing by the Academic Integrity Board, with all documentation provided by the instructor and the student. To the extent practicable, the Dean of Students Office will redact unique identifying student and instructor information (i.e., name, UMID number). The Academic Integrity Board hearing shall be held in a
University of Michigan-Dearborn 19
- For repeat violations, the Board shall make a recommendation on additional sanctions to the Dean of the home college of the student, and the Dean shall make the final decision.
VIII. External Uses of ACC Violation
Records
- The Dean of Students Office shall keep records of informal ACC violations, but not in the University Academic Integrity Database. Records of informal ACC violations are not for any external uses.
- The record of any alleged ACC violation is temporally in the University Academic Integrity Database, but will either become a record of an affirmed violation or be removed from the database, as specified in Section V. Records of alleged ACC violations are not for any external uses.
- Records related to ACC violations that identify a student and which are maintained by the University are governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Affirmed violations of the ACC are maintained in the University Academic Integrity Database. These records are expunged from the database within eight (8) weeks after the student’s graduation or after eight (8) years from the initial violation, whichever comes first. Students who want to provide these records to a third party (such as a potential employer) are required to submit a written FERPA consent for such records to be released.
IX. Automatic Procedural Review
The Office of the Provost shall conduct an automatic review to ensure no material procedural error in the process occurred. If the Provost Office determines there was a material procedural error then the case shall be remanded to a reconstituted Board for a new hearing.
X. Maintenance of Records
All records related to ACC violations shall be maintained in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.
XI. Responsible Administrator
The Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs or designee is responsible for periodic and ad hoc review of this Policy and its procedures. The Faculty Senate is responsible for the approval of this Policy. [1] (p. ) (^) Excluding weekends, final exam periods, and University recognized holidays.

Add/Drop
Add
A student may add courses or change a standard graded course to Pass/ Fail or Audit during the first two weeks of a full term, the first week of a half term or mini-term, or before the second class meeting of a less than one-month mini-term.
Drop
A student may drop a course(s) during the first two weeks of a full term, the first week of a half term or mini-term, or before the second class meeting of a less than one-month mini-term. No record of the student’s brief enrollment will be recorded. Courses may be dropped during the third through the ninth week of classes in a full term, during the second through the fourth week of classes in a half term or mini-term, and before the third class meeting in a less than one-month mini-term. Beyond those deadlines, the mark of W will appear on the transcript. The effective date of the drop is the date the drop form is received and signed at the Enrollment Services Counter.
Instructor Initiated Drop
Non-attendance does not constitute an official drop. The student is responsible for taking action to officially drop a course. However, the instructor reserves the right to initiate an administrative drop for any student who does not attend the first week of the semester. Academic departments may also administratively drop students from courses in which the student has not completed the prerequisite courses. Colleges are in charge of developing the procedure to administratively notify students that they have been dropped from the course. Please consult the Registration & Records website for procedures on how to drop courses.
Waitlist
Waitlists will not close prior to the first day of classes. Waitlists will remain open during the first eight days of classes for a full term, and the first three days of class during a half term. During this time, students may add or drop their names to/from waitlists via UM-Dearborn Connect.
Attendance Requirement
A student is expected to attend every class and laboratory for which the student has registered. Each instructor may make known to the student their policy with respect to absences in the course. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of this policy. The instructor makes the final decision to excuse or not to excuse an absence. An instructor is entitled to give a failing grade (E) for excessive absences or an Unofficial Drop (UE) for a student who stops attending class at some point during the semester.
Audit of Courses
All students, degree seeking or non-degree seeking, are expected to elect courses for credit. The student's academic adviser, however, with the concurrence of the instructor involved, may grant official auditing privileges when they are warranted for educational reasons. A student
20 CIP Code Assignment Policy auditing a course is charged the usual fee for that course. Any specific conditions must be enunciated by the instructor at the time permission is granted for the audit. Please consult your college’s advising office for additional guidance. Non-degree seeking students should consult the advising office associated with the college offering the course. Students admitted to a program that requires auditing are exempt from this policy; however, the instructor may still place conditions on the audit through the end of the add/drop period for the semester.
CIP Code Assignment Policy
Process for Assigning CIP Codes to Academic Programs
Introduction The federal government’s Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) code taxonomy is part of a system which allows tracking and reporting of program enrollments and completion data at higher education institutions. Each academic program is assigned a CIP code describing the curriculum and occasionally the degree. The CIP code taxonomy facilitates comparisons of programs across colleges and universities more reliably than by just considering program names. Although CIP codes are mostly invisible to students and faculty, they are important administratively for federal financial aid, considerations related to visas for international students, and for federal reporting. CIP Code Structure A CIP code is a six-digit code, made up of three groupings of two digits. The first two digits define the most general grouping of related programs (call the CIP area). For example, all CIP codes that start with 26 are in the broad area called “Biological and Biomedical Sciences”. The second two digits represent sub-areas within the two-digit sequence. For example, under the CIP code 26 are 26.01 (Biology), 26.02 (Biochemistry), and 26.03 (Botany). The full six-digit code represents a specific academic program. For example, 26.0205 is the CIP code for Molecular Biochemistry. CIP Code Assignment The appropriate CIP code is assigned by the department/unit faculty to an academic program when it is created and sent through the curriculum approval process. Responsibility for assigning CIP codes to new academic programs, or for changing existing CIP codes, rests with the respective college/unit with input from Institutional Research and Effectiveness, Office of the Registrar, Graduate Studies, Financial Aid, Office of International Affairs, and the Associate Provosts. If input front the reviewing offices conflicts with the CIP code recommendation of the unit, the Office of the Provost will arrange for an additional evaluation and make the final determination on the most appropriate CIP code for the program. Changes to CIP codes must also follow the same process and be approved through the UCDC undergraduate or graduate curriculum committees (as a program change) to become effective at the start of the next Fall term.
Classroom and Learning Management
System Course Access Policy
Classroom Course Access
The University of Michigan-Dearborn campus has based its classroom access policy on the following statements from Chapter 8.D.5. of the University of Michigan Faculty Handbook titled, "Authorized and Unauthorized Persons in the Classroom": "Generally, persons not enrolled or otherwise officially authorized to attend a course should not be permitted to attend classes. Authorized individuals include prospective students who are visiting a class pursuant to a school or college admissions program." Members of the faculty have some discretion in permitting guests into their classroom or laboratory. A guest is defined as anyone who is not officially enrolled in the particular course or laboratory and has received an explicit and time-limited invitation by the course instructor. Guests include faculty, staff, non-registered students, or community members. Faculty must be mindful of student privacy concerns and the need of the campus to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Faculty can permit guests to attend up to two weeks of classes before submitting a one-time petition to their department chair to extend the access period for an additional two weeks of classes. Department chairs shall consider safety, resources, privacy, and fairness in their decisions. University of Michigan Dearborn students with a need to attend a course for longer than four weeks have the option to elect the course under the University auditing policy.
Learning Management System Course
Access
Instructors of record and officially registered students will automatically receive access to the University of Michigan-Dearborn Learning Management System (LMS). Waitlisted students will also automatically receive LMS access, but in a view-only state. In addition to these automatic additions from the student information system, the University permits adding teaching assistants, supplemental instructors, and inviting outside and/or guest speakers to the LMS in accordance with FERPA and privacy considerations. Whereas students with incomplete grades from a previous semester may be granted limited guest access to the physical classroom or laboratory as above under the Classroom Course Access policy (two weeks), they will be granted continued access to the LMS course materials in the closed course/section in which they were enrolled for the duration of the time in their incomplete contract. Faculty can obtain extended access to closed courses with assistance from the LMS support staff. For courses similar to independent study and directed research, faculty shall only use the LMS generated dedicated course shells, which may not be combined with other shells. Note that this access policy does not apply to classroom visits- virtual or otherwise- arranged between the instructor and the college, department, or peer evaluators for purposes such as mentoring, promotion, evaluation, instructional design, or embedded academic and technical support.
Corequisites and Prerequisites
Students are required to follow all prerequisites and comments listed in the Schedule of Classes and Undergraduate or Graduate Catalog, or the "Course Descriptions" section. Special attention should be given to courses in which a concurrent election is required (e.g., Chemistry 134). For such courses, the student must also register for the Recitation/ Laboratory if different from the course reference number (CRN) for the lecture. Students will be prevented from registering for courses for which the proper corequisites and prerequisites are missing. Any exceptions to
