Section 2.03 FIRST OFFENSE
a) Once the charge has been filed, the student will be notified of when to appear before the Academic Integrity Committee. At this time, students will be notified that they may have an advocate appear before the committee with them. If the student fails to appear at the set time without an excuse acceptable to the Com- mittee, the charges will be automatically confirmed.
b) If the student admits to the charge, he/she will appear before the committee to discuss academic integrity. The complaint and ac- companying documentation will be filed with the Academic Affairs Office. The faculty member will be informed concerning the out- comes of the meeting and will impose sanctions for the course. If the student decides to appeal the charges, he/she is required to notify the chair of the Academic Integrity Committee in writing within 72 hours after receiving the initial notice. Committee members will hear testimony from the student and faculty member who has been asked to be available at the time of the meeting) and will have the opportunity to ask the student questions as well as inform the student on issues related to academic integrity. Students may provide evidence on their behalf.
c) Based on the testimony, the Committee will either confirm or re- scind the charges. [NOTE: If the charges are rescinded, the student is exonerated and all documentation sent to the Academic Affairs Office and the Chair of the Committee will be destroyed immedi- ately. If the charges are confirmed, the complaint and accompa- nying documentation will be kept only in the Academic Affairs Of- fice for a period of seven years for record-keeping purposes (i.e. to establish whether or not a student has a prior complaint). At the end of the seven-year period, all documents concerning this charge are destroyed.]
d) If appealing or denying the charges, the student will be informed at the end of the meeting when the written decision of the Com- mittee will be sent to the student through campus mail and that the student will need to sign for the letter during the next two weeks. The student has the right to appeal the Committee's deci- sion to the Vice President for Academic Affairs within 72 hours after receiving the Committee's written decision. If the student has not signed for the written decision in the two weeks after the date of the letter, it will be assumed that the student does not wish to appeal. The faculty member will be informed of the Committee's decision and will impose sanctions for the course.
e) If the charges are confirmed, the student's advisor will also be in- formed of the charges and the sanction(s) in writing.
