What happens when I receive a Type II Academic Alert?

Starting from Winter 2019, Alexander College has introduced Type II Academic Alerts to give students who committed minor or unintentional academic offenses, such as missing in-text citations, an opportunity to understand and learn from their errors.

Type II Academic Alerts are less serious Academic Alerts. Type II Academic Alerts are granted by the Student Rights and Responsibilities Officer after careful examination of the evidence and discussion with the instructor and/or the Student Rights and Responsibilities Manager.

When you receive a Type II Academic Alert, a grade penalty of 10-20% will be applied to your assignment or exam. You will also be required to attend a Citation Workshop with the Writing and Learning Centre.

Alexander College acknowledges that the land on which we usually gather is the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work in this territory.
