What to do if you have been called to a meeting with an Academic Conduct Officer or Panel
Academic responsibility and conduct means conducting all aspects of your academic life in a professional manner. As a member of the academic community at Southampton, you are expected to work in accordance with the principles of academic responsibility and conduct and you can find out more about what it means in practice and why it is important from our page What is academic responsibility and conduct?
We understand that being called to a meeting with an Academic Conduct Officer or to attend an Academic Conduct Panel can be a very anxious and worrying experience. On this page you will find two short interactive learning activities that will help you understand and prepare for either situation. Both learning activities were developed with the help of SUSU Advisors.
How to prepare for a meeting with an Academic Conduct Officer
The learning activity consists of a short introduction followed by two sections each taking approximately 15 minutes to complete.
A PDF document created by SUSU highlighting all of the key information from the learning activity is available [PDF]. SUSU have also created a helpful guide to writing an academic responsibility and conduct statement. If you find an accessibility issue please contact libenqs@soton.ac.uk
Please note: Any mention of Academic Integrity is referring to Academic Responsibility and Conduct.
