Who can help me?

Students and instructors involved in the process of resolving academic integrity violation allegations can solicit assistance from whomever they would like. However, we recommend getting assistance from a trained UC San Diego community member so that you can be sure you are receiving accurate and appropriate assistance. Also, it is important to note that only UC San Diego community members trained by the AI Office can accompany students and instructors into an AI Review. 

The Academic Integrity Office has trained 3 different types of UC San Diego community members to advise students and instructors throughout the process:

AI Office Peer Advisors

The AI Office student staff are available Monday through Friday to advise students who might need help on:

  • understanding academic integrity and why decisions were made or actions were taken
  • going through the process when an academic integrity violation may have occurred
  • understanding the administrative and academic consequences of the different types of violations
  • preparing for a review
  • anything related to academic integrity!
