Academic Integrity & Student Conduct

How do I handle suspicions that a student violated Olin’s academic integrity policies?

WashU Olin’s Academic Integrity Policies are governed by the Standing Committee for Academic Integrity and Student Conduct. Olin has separate Academic Integrity policies and processes for its Undergraduate and Graduate programs. It is important that faculty adhere to these policies and processes to ensure fairness in the investigation and adjudication of allegations of violations of Olin’s codes.

For undergraduate students suspected of a violation of the Undergraduate Academic Integrity Code, please email Paige LaRose (palarose@wustl.edu) and Yoon Groves (yoon.groves@wustl.edu) with documentation of the case.

For graduate students suspected of a violation of the Graduate Academic Integrity Code, please complete the Graduate Programs Academic Integrity Allegation form.

How do I handle issues of poor student conduct or disrespectful behavior?

WashU Olin maintains a clear code of professional conduct. The Integrity Matters publications, for Undergraduate students and Graduate students, respectively, specifies expectations for student conduct.

If you believe a student has violated Olin’s Code for Professional Conduct, please submit your allegation using the Concerns about Professional Conduct form.

Curriculum Development

I have an idea for a new course. How do I add it to the curriculum?

Each Olin program’s curriculum is governed by a standing faculty committee and, ultimately, the full school faculty. New ideas for courses should be advanced through the curriculum committee according to the following process:

  1. Start by submitting the New Course Proposal form. This information will be distributed to the relevant curriculum committees.
  2. At the invitation of the relevant curriculum committee chairs, present your new course proposal to the full committee.
  3. Revise the new course proposal to take into account committee members’ feedback.
  4. Put the course up for a vote within the relevant curriculum committee(s).

New courses are initially approved on an experimental basis. The course will be approved to be offered for three academic years as an experimental course. At the end of the 2nd year, the course must be approved by the full faculty to become a permanent offering.
