The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs serves as the Academic Integrity Officer at the University of Minnesota, Crookston. A report of Scholastic Dishonesty is to be filed with the Academic Integrity Officer if an incident has occurred for which faculty have taken specific action. The specific form can be obtained from the Academic Affairs Office.

Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: cheating on a test, plagiarism, and collusion. Cases of dishonesty may be handled as a scholastic matter or as a student conduct code matter at the discretion of the instructor. Instructors choosing to treat the case as a scholastic matter have the authority to decide how the incident of dishonesty will affect the student's grade in the course. If the instructor has treated the case as a scholastic matter involving the grade in a course and the student has a grievance related to this action, that grievance would be processed as outlined in Article IV, Section 3 of the Campus Assembly Constitution. Instructors choosing to treat the case as a disciplinary matter will refer the case to UMC's Student Conduct Code Coordinator for resolution under the University's Student Conduct Code.
