Student Admissions of Guilt
In cases in which the accused student admits to the act of academic misconduct, accepts the penalties without an admission of misconduct, or fails to request a hearing with the AIC within the allotted seven business days, the instructor’s dean or designee is to record a determination that the student has indeed committed the act in question. The instructor’s dean or designee is also to notify the Registrar to place a “training hold” on the student’s account to prevent the student from registering for classes, requesting transcripts, and/or graduating, until the instructor’s dean or designee receives notification from the appropriate units (i.e., the Writing Center and the Academic Support Center) that any required educational training (see Section VI above) has been completed. The instructor, the student’s academic advisor, and the student’s dean (if applicable) are then to be notified, and all university- level penalties are to be assessed and applied. If the student is an athlete, the Chief Athletics Officer and the Faculty Athletics Representative are to be notified. If the student is a member of ROTC, their Commanding Officer is to be notified. The notification is also sent to the office of the Chief Academic Officer for recordkeeping.
