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

Th 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.

If you are a faculty member at Wichita State, you can take the survey, regardless of previous interaction with the Academic Integrity Process. The survey will close on May 16.

If there are any questions, reach out to SCCS at SCCS@wichita.edu.
