Sabotage occurs when one purposely attempts to undermine the academic work of another student or an instructor.
Academic Misconduct Procedure
An instructor who has reason to believe that a student enrolled in their class has committed an act of academic misconduct must discuss the matter with the student. The instructor must advise the student of the alleged act of academic misconduct and the information upon which it is based. The student must be given an opportunity to refute the allegation.
If the instructor, after meeting with the student, determines that the student has likely engaged in academic misconduct as alleged, the instructor will inform the student and impose an appropriate academic sanction from the following list:
§ Completion of an educational activity relating to the nature of the offense.
§ Assign a lower grade or score to the paper, project, assignment, or examination involved in the act of
misconduct.
§ Require the student to repeat or resubmit the paper, project, assignment, or examination involved in the act of misconduct.
§ Require the student to repeat or resubmit the paper, project, assignment, or examination involved in the act of misconduct.
§ Assign a failing grade for the course
§ Require the student to withdraw from the course.
The remainder of the Academic Misconduct Policy may be found in the Greenville Technical College 2025-2026 Handbook and Catalog www.gvltec.edu/catalog
Academic Standing
Greenville Technical College has implemented a progressive support system to help students enrolled in curriculum programs maintain good academic standing. Student cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) are updated at the end of each term. Academic Standing notifications are emailed to students who are no longer in Good Standing. Note that students who receive financial aid may face additional consequences that should be discussed with the Office of Financial Aid.
