Committing fraud is an act of academic misconduct. Handling fraud is described in the Rules and Regulations Examination Board, Rule 8 - Fraud and Student Charter, Article 6.
A fraud incident is reported by the teacher to the Examination Board by email (examinationboard-set-me@utwente.nl). In the mail he or she states the course, the date and time of the incident, the accuse and the student(s) involved. Furthermore, the teacher explains his or her perception of the situation. Evidence to be included (not exhaustive list) are the exam, the student’s work, non-accused student work as a ‘normal’ example; all preferably having the pdf format.

- The work of the student(s) involved is not assessed.
- The teacher informs the Examination Board by email - as described above - and informs the student(s) about his accuse and the reason for delaying the grading.
- The Examination Board studies the materials received and where necessary contacts the teachers and /or the accused.
- The Examination Board takes a decision and informs the parties involved.
