Project Incident Status

The Project Incident Status shows students who have triggered an incident flag on a project based on a relative 14-day period beginning at midnight.

Important Project incidents can happen even when students submit their own work. For example, if a student submits a project using a file from a previous course or a different assignment, an incident is logged because the identifiers in the submitted project don't match.

Project incidents result when your student's submission includes:

  • A file from a different assignment or student.
  • A file with some or all of the content copied from a different assignment or another student's file.
  • A non-SAM generated start file.
  • A non-SAM generated start file with some or all of the content copied from a different assignment or another student's file.
  • A file that has been opened from OneDrive, Google Drive, or other cloud-based storage.
  • A file that has been opened or edited with Google Docs, Google Sheets, or a cloud-based version of Office®.
