WGU Academic integrity investigation
Looking for Experiences/Advice
Hi everyone, I’m posting because I’m really worried about my sister and would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar at WGU.
My sister is very close to graduating (she is expected to graduate in September). She recently received an email from WGU’s Academic Integrity team saying that they were notified of “potential assessment security concerns” during one of her objective assessments. The exam was for Adult Health III and was taken on July 27.
WGU has placed a hold on her objective assessments while they investigate. The email says the initial investigation can take up to three weeks, and she can continue working on performance assessments.
My sister says she did not cheat. However, she remembers that her eyes may have moved away from the screen at times while she was thinking/reading, and she is worried that this may have looked suspicious on the proctoring footage.
We know someone else who received a very similar notice from WGU and was eventually expelled, so naturally we are extremely scared, especially because my sister is so close to graduation.
For anyone who has experienced a WGU Academic Integrity investigation:
* What happened after you received a notice like this?
* How long did the investigation take?
* Were you given a chance to explain what happened?
* If you genuinely did not cheat, were you able to resolve it without being expelled?
* Did it affect your graduation date?
* Would you recommend continuing with the program rather than withdrawing?
We’re trying not to panic and just want to understand what to expect. Please share your actual experiences, especially if you had a similar situation involving proctoring/eye movement. Thank you!
