Citation For Academic Misconduct:

  • One citation will result in mandatory education instruction and assistance, in addition to the student being placed on the probationary watch list. This is to occur regardless of whether or not the student has received a previous warning. In cases where the student has already received two warnings, however, and has hence already been placed on the probationary watch list, punishment will then be governed by the guidelines listed below.
  • Records of an act of academic misconduct are only retained in a student’s academic file if the student is eventually suspended or expelled from the university for academic misconduct. Notations regarding such an act will otherwise be expunged from the student’s academic file upon graduation.
  • If a student’s first two offenses occur concurrently (as determined by a relevant Dean), whether they involve warnings, citations, or a mix of both, they are to be treated as one offense. If these first two offenses are a mix of a warning and a citation, they are to count as one citation of academic misconduct.
