| Code of Academic Integrity ::
General Provisions |
| Academic Days |
| "Academic Days" are the days in which school
is in session during the regular fall and spring semesters,
excluding weekends and holidays. If possible, Faculty-Student
Conferences and appeals may be heard during the summer
or winter break. The Dean of the College or Dean of
Students may extend these time limits when serving
the interests of a fair consideration or for good cause
shown. |
| |
| Advisor |
An individual selected by the student to advise
him/her. The advisor may be a faculty or staff member,
student, attorney, or other representative of the
student. The student will be responsible for any
fees charged by the advisor.
|
| |
| Grade
Before Appeals |
| Students must be allowed to continue in class without
prejudice until all un-expired or pending appeals are
completed. If the semester ends before all appeals
are concluded, a grade of "I" shall be recorded
until appeals are completed. |
| |
| Graduate
Students |
In cases involving graduate students, faculty
shall follow the procedures outlined for undergraduate
students except that in all cases where the student
is found to have violated this Code, the faculty
member (and in the case of appeals, the Dean of the
College or Hearing Board) shall notify the Associate
Dean of the Graduate College.

| Notice :: Back
to Top |
| Whenever notice is required in these procedures it
shall be written notice delivered by hand or by other
means that provides for verification of delivery. |
| |
| Record :: Back
to Top |
| Whenever a sanction is imposed, the sanction and
the rationale shall be recorded in the student's academic
file. It is recommended that the standard forms "Record
of Faculty-Student Conference" and "Record
of Appeal to Dean of the College" be used. These
forms are available from the Dean of Students Office.
Students may petition the Senior Vice President for
Academic Affairs/Provost after five years from the
semester of the determination or upon graduation, whichever
occurs first, to have the record destroyed. |

| Rights
and Responsibilites of Witness :: Back
to Top |
Witnesses are expected to cooperate in any proceedings
under this Code. The privacy of a witness shall be
protected to the extent allowed by law and with consideration
to fairness to the students charged and other affected
persons. Retaliation of any kind against witnesses
is prohibited and shall be treated as a violation
of the Student Code of Conduct or of other applicable
University rules.
|
| |
| Students
or Faculty Not Available For Conference :: Back
to Top |
| In cases where the student is not available, e.g.,
out of the area after final exams, the faculty member
shall make every reasonable effort to contact the student
through personal contact, telephone, University email,
or mail to inform the student of the charges. If the
faculty member is able to contact the student, the
Faculty-Student Conference shall be scheduled as soon
as both parties are available, e.g., at the beginning
of the next semester. The student shall be given the
grade of Incomplete until the conference is held. If
either of the parties will not be available for an
extended period, the Faculty-Student Conference shall
be held via the telephone or by mail. If after several
efforts, contact cannot be established, the faculty
member may impose sanctions but must send a letter
or copy of the "Record of Faculty-Student Conference" form
via certified return receipt requested mail to the
student's last permanent address outlining the charges,
findings, conclusions and sanctions. |

| Students
Not in Class :: Back
to Top |
| If students not enrolled in the class are involved
in a violation of this Code, faculty shall file a Student
Code of Conduct complaint with the Dean of Students
Office. |
