MSW Student Guide

Section 1.13.00: Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction under these policies and procedures is as follows:

A. Jurisdiction over students enrolled in the Joint Doctoral Program in Social Work and Social Science lies with the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies for charges related to academic misconduct. For charges related to professional misconduct during the course of studies leading to the MSW degree or charges not covered by the Rackham academic integrity policy, jurisdiction lies with the School of Social Work.

B. Jurisdiction over students from other schools and colleges within the university enrolled in social work courses, including students enrolled in dual-degree programs between the School of Social Work and another school or college at the University of Michigan, lies with the School of Social Work if the alleged misconduct occurred within the School of Social Work or a School of Social Work course.

C. In the event there is a dispute or lack of clarity about which school or college shall take jurisdiction, the dean of the School of Social Work, in consultation with the Office of General Counsel and the head of any other interested unit, will decide which procedures to employ.
