Student Conduct and Academic Integrity

This office empowers Carolinians to be responsible citizens and uphold the core values of our academic community. We hold every Carolinian to a high standard of ethical behavior.

Virtual Student Appointments

Students who are reported for Code of Conduct or Honor Code concerns will have a meeting to discuss the alleged violation virtually. You will receive notification of your appointment and directions via your university email and will be asked to engage in a virtual meeting through Microsoft Teams.

You will utilize the same credentials to access Microsoft Teams as you would use for your university email.
We suggest that you download the Microsoft Teams application as that provides for the best virtual connection.
When it is your appointment time you will receive a call from your administrator or be prompted to join the video conference.
You can choose to use the video feature or engage in the conference with audio only.
For more information about your meeting review the Hearings section of our website
- Please also make sure if you plan to bring someone to your meeting to review the Advisor Confidentiality form
