Procedure Principles

Northumbria University is committed to conducting misconduct investigations with the upmost integrity, ensuring alignment with our core Values and Behaviours. It is imperative that every investigation into academic misconduct upholds the principles of support, respect, and trust, reflecting our commitment to maintaining academic integrity. Inquiries are handled with diligence and adherence to established ethical standards, promoting a culture of academic excellence with the research community.

Whilst the Academic Misconduct Policy provides comprehensive information regarding the investigation procedure, other university policies may also be relevant to colleagues. These policies encompass other codes, regulations, and policies which we encourage colleagues to familiarise themselves with to ensure the clearest understanding of their rights and responsibilities within our academic community.
