- 17. Lindenwood Academic Honesty Lindenwood University has developed the following policy on plagiarism*: • The name of any student who has been found to have plagiarized will be turned into the Provost. The plagiarized paper, along with supporting documents, will be placed in a file and the name of the student will be placed on a list. This list is available only to the deans. • The classroom professor will notify the student directly that Step 1 has occurred. Evidence to support a claim of plagiarism will be provided. The effect of the plagiarism on the student’s grade will be determined by the professor and will be stated in the syllabus for that course. • In the event that the student plagiarizes a second time, the student will then meet with the dean of that school and/or the Provost. After a second proven instance of plagiarism, the student will be placed on academic probation. The student will also fail the class. • If the student chooses to plagiarize a third time, the student may be expelled from the University.
