If a case is filed, the case manager will notify you of that and explain what will happen next. Upon receiving the notification, you have five business days to respond and provide any information that you think is important for the case manager to know.
Once the case manager receives your response (or if five business days pass with no response), the case manager will prepare a summary of the evidence relevant to the case and send it to you. You have 10 business days to review the summary and respond to the case manager.
If you provide additional information in your response, the case manager will update the summary. You have five business days to respond to the revised summary.
When the information-gathering is complete, the case manager will make a decision on the case and send you notification of that.
Possible sanctions for misconduct cases may include one or more of the following:
-
Revision of the assignment for a lowered grade (25–50 percent reduction in grade) or a 0 on the assignment
-
Assignment of Educational Remediation: Learning or reflection activities on academic integrity, personal ethics, and/or time management/self-care, with the goal of helping you move forward with integrity in future coursework
Sanctions for repeated or egregious misconduct may include one or more of the following:
-
A grade of F in the course
-
Disciplinary probation, suspension, expulsion, invalidation of credit, or degree revocation
You may appeal the decision within five business days of being notified if new information that was not available at the time of the case processing becomes available or if the procedures were not followed. The decision may not be appealed based on dissatisfaction or disagreement with the sanction.
