How to Report Academic Misconduct
See our instructions on how to confront and report issues of academic misconduct in the classroom. Please contact the Office of Student Conduct at 919.515.2963 with questions about reporting an incident.
Looking for the paper RAIV form?
Starting Fall 2023, we are no longer requiring the use of the paper RAIV form. Instructors should still meet with their students to review the allegations and supporting materials, then move forward with reporting the incident to the Office of Student Conduct through our online form, avaliable at go.ncsu.edu/RAIV

Reporting Relationship Violence, Interpersonal Violence, or Sexual Misconduct
Did a student disclose to you that they experienced harassment, relationship violence, sexual misconduct, or stalking?
You may have an obligation to report that behavior to the university, even if the student asks you not to. There’s no need for you to investigate, decide what happened, or arrive at any conclusions – simply report. If you are a Responsible Employee, reporting to NC State’s Title IX Coordinator is required.
Reporting Concerning, Worrisome, or Threatening Behavior
Students who are in crisis or who are exhibiting concerning or worrisome behaviors often need additional attention in order to ensure they are safe, the community is safe, and that they continue to be successful while at NC State. The Office of Student Conduct works closely with other campus partners to help identify and support these students.
Learn more at the university’s Prevention Services website.
If you think an immediate emergency situation exists, contact 911 or Campus Police at 919-515-3000 and report the behavior you have observed.
Managing Classroom Disruptions
While some classroom disruptions can be signs of a student in distress, many are simply acts of ignorance or disrespect that do not indicate a higher level of concern. Please visit the Classroom Disruptions section of our site for a helpful guide on managing classroom disruptions, including differentiating between classroom disruptions from concerning behaviors.
Maintaining Student Confidentiality
It is important that you become familiar with NC State’s policies regarding the release of student educational records. Educational records include everything from student grades and assignments to emails regarding the student.
