If the allegation is dismissed, you will receive an email advising why it was dismissed and the next steps. If the allegation progresses to an investigation, a WD grade will be applied to the subject(s) by student administration until the case is resolved. You will be notified of the outcome of the investigation as soon as it has been finalised.
As the alleger, your details will be included in the allegation. However, you can request to remain anonymous in communications with the student. If you wish to do so, please select the appropriate option on the form.
If you have any questions about reporting suspected academic misconduct, please contact your subject convenor or Faculty Operations team.
If you're having trouble lodging an allegation, your faculty operations team can also assist by submitting it on your behalf. Please ensure that all relevant information and documents are included in your email.
