CoursEval and SPH Grades
Online course evaluations are used for most SPH courses and instructors. Evaluations must be completed within two weeks after the last day of class. Grades will be held until the student completes the evaluation.
Scholastic Dishonesty
The School of Public Health and the Office for Student Conduct and Academic Integrity have resources to help faculty members who suspect that a student has cheated or plagiarized.
When a faculty member in the School of Public Health suspects that a student has engaged in academic misconduct, they should immediately contact Mary Story, senior associate dean for academic and students affairs, at story001@umn.edu, 612-626-8801. Together they will develop a communication and investigation plan that conforms to school and University policies.
