Student Conduct & Community Standards (SCCS) is trying to gauge satisfaction and evaluate the services offered by its office in the resolution of academic integrity cases by gathering feedback from people who may have referred academic integrity cases to the SCCS office.

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and confidential. The responses will be reviewed by SCCS staff to strengthen the academic integrity process. Group results from this survey may be shared with the faculty senate executive board or deans of colleges to further assist with education on the academic integrity process.

Faculty members at Wichita State can complete the survey here regardless of their previous interaction with the academic integrity process. The survey will close on May 1.

If there are any questions, please reach out to Student Conduct & Community Standards at SCCS@wichita.edu.
