Student Code of Conduct #1

Cheating, Plagiarism, or Other Forms of Academic Dishonesty:

• presenting as their own the ideas or works of others without proper citation of sources;
• utilizing devices not authorized by the faculty member;
• using sources (including but not limited to text, images, computer code, and audio/video files) not authorized by the faculty member;
• providing assistance without the faculty member's permission to another student, or receiving assistance not authorized by the faculty member from anyone (with or without their knowledge);
• submitting work done for academic credit in previous classes, without the knowledge and advance permission of the current faculty member;
• acting as a substitute or utilizing a substitute;
• deceiving faculty members or other representatives of the university to affect a grade or to gain admission to a program or course;
• fabricating or misrepresenting data;
• possessing, buying, selling, obtaining, or using a copy of any material intended to be used as an instrument of assessment in advance of its administration;
• altering grade records of their own or another student's work;
• offering a monetary payment or other remuneration in exchange for a grade; or 
• violating the ethical guidelines or professional standards of a given program.

In addition to any adverse academic action, which may result from engaging in academically dishonest behavior, the University specifically reserves the right to address and sanction the conduct involved through the Student Conduct Review Procedures outlined on this website in the Student Conduct section. Academic actions are reviewable under the Academic Dispute Resolution Procedure.

• Reporting Procedure

  Suspicion of Academic Dishonesty

  The concerning party, whether it be an instructor, staff member, or a fellow student, reports the incident to the Dean of Students Office using the online reporting form. All instructors are required to report all instances of suspected academic dishonesty to the Dean of Students Office. An academic penalty or sanction (i.e., required re-do of an assignment, automatic failure on assignment or course, etc.) may only be imposed after the successful conclusion of the Formal Notation Process or after a finding of 鈥渞esponsible鈥� through the Student Conduct Process.  

  A student conduct administrator in the Dean of Students Office will review the report and notify the reporting party that the report was received. In some instances, the student conduct administrator may have follow-up questions or ask for more information.

  The student conduct administrator (with input from the instructor) will determine whether the suspected academic dishonesty should be addressed through the formal notation process or through the formal student conduct process. Factors that assist in making this decision may include: the student's history with academic dishonesty, the severity of the alleged dishonesty, and the student's education level. In addition, a student鈥檚 disability may also factor into this decision making process. 

  Formal Notation Process

  This process allows for the student and instructor to engage in an educational and developmental conversation about the issue. A student conduct administrator from the Dean of Students Office may also attend to facilitate the conversation, to ensure students are aware of their rights and responsibilities, and to ensure that those rights are maintained. If this process ensues, and if the student openly admits to and agrees with the dishonesty that may have occurred, then a Statement of Responsibility form is signed by the instructor, student, and student conduct administrator. The form describes the academic dishonesty and the academic penalty (if the instructor plans to issue one) that will occur as a result of the incident. If, during this meeting, the student does not admit nor agree to the suspected dishonesty, or if the student desires to have the allegations against them heard through the formal student conduct process, then the meeting between the student, faculty member, and student conduct administrator is adjourned and the incident is resolved through the formal student conduct process.

  Formal Student Conduct Process

  This process begins with the preliminary investigation in which the case will either be dismissed or moved forward for full investigation and review. Instructors must withhold grading of the assignment in question and/or issuing any academic penalty (i.e. giving a 0 on the assignment, requiring a re-do, etc.) until the conclusion of the student conduct process. If there is sufficient information to support the accusation, the student is notified of the allegations and invited to participate in a meeting to review the allegations to share their perspective. Once the student conduct process concludes and a finding is made, the student conduct administrator will notify the faculty member so they may issue an academic penalty. Academic penalties are only permitted when there is a finding of "responsible." More information on the student code of conduct process can be found in the brochure in the Student Handbook.

• Disciplinary Sanctions

  The sanctioning system employed by the Dean of Students Office is based on a spectrum of possibilities, from a Warning through Expulsion from the University of Alaska system. The spectrum approach allows the flexibility to address cases based on specific circumstances, severity of the behavior, and repeated violations.

  Sanctions are not mutually exclusive, and can be combined into a series of sanctions that might be more effective in modifying the student鈥檚 behavior in the future. For example, discretionary sanctions might be given as an educative complement to a punitive sanction of a Warning or Disciplinary Probation.

  Disciplinary sanctions are only imposed when the Dean of Students Office has reached a conclusion of 鈥淩esponsible.鈥� Note that the assignment of grades in relation to a finding of responsible, which is considered an academic penalty, is outside the purview of the Dean of Students Office and rests solely with the Instructor of Record. However, an instructor may only impose an academic penalty in cases in which a student is found 鈥渞esponsible.鈥�

  Warning 鈥� A notice that a student has violated UAA鈥檚 Student Code of Conduct, which can be used as evidence of previous offenses in future cases. Warnings are typically limited to cases where academic misconduct appears to be unintentional or the severity of the offense is minor. If a student receives a warning, the Dean of Students Office does not disclose a disciplinary record about a student to a third party, i.e., to a medical school.

  Reflective Essay 鈥� A student may be required to write an essay reflecting on the incident that led to the allegation(s) of misconduct, including steps the student plans to take to remedy or prevent future instances of misconduct.

  Academic Integrity Tutorial 鈥� The student would be required to take the Academic Integrity Tutorial and provide the completion certificate.

  Disciplinary Probation 鈥� A written warning that includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions, including suspension or expulsion, if the student is found responsible for violating UAA鈥檚 Student Code of Conduct for the specified probationary period. If a student is placed on disciplinary probation, the Dean of Students Office will disclose the disciplinary record of a student to a third party after receiving a proper release of information, i.e., to a medical school.

  Discretionary Sanctions 鈥� Discretionary sanctions are designed primarily to educate the students about the consequences and repercussions for having a lack of academic integrity. The sanctions may include (but are not limited to) essays, written apologies, presentations, mentoring meetings, counseling, educational classes, community service work, or other uncompensated labor. They should be assigned only in conjunction with other sanctions.

  Suspension 鈥� The separation of the student from the University of Alaska for a specified period of time. The student may not participate in University of Alaska events or be present on University of Alaska property for a specified period of time.

  Expulsion 鈥� The permanent separation of a student from the University of Alaska indefinitely. The student may not participate in University of Alaska events or be present on University of Alaska property.

• Sanction Guidelines - First Offense

  The 暗网视频 believes that academic integrity violations are best addressed through procedures designed to educate students. However, the necessity of maintaining the quality of education and of protecting the reputation of the University and its degrees requires the possibility of punitive sanctions to reinforce educative approaches and to arrest immediate or consistent issues. The guidelines included here are intended to clarify how the University can best achieve these goals.

  The sanctioning guidelines that follow are designed to guide the Dean of Students Office in the imposition of sanctioning for academic misconduct and to provide a transparent description of consequences for both students and faculty. The Dean of Students Office reserves the right to depart from these guidelines in cases involving aggravating or mitigating circumstances, under-prepared students, graduate students, etc. Cases may exist where students need to be assigned greater sanctions due to their prior disciplinary record. Conversely, cases may occur where lesser sanctions may be appropriate. The Dean of Students Office intends to follow the sanctioning guidelines, making exceptions that are in the best interest of the student.

  Definition of Terms

  BOR Policy Reference: Policy Reference given in .

  Nature of Violation: Description of the nature of the violation reported to the Dean of Students Office. The descriptions are guidelines and are NOT exhaustive; in all cases, the BOR Policies are the basis of classification of violations.

  Minimum Sanction: This is the minimum sanction that would be imposed by the Dean of Students Office if a student were found Responsible of violating the Student Code of Conduct. In certain cases, multiple minimum sanctions ("Warning AND Reflective Essay") may be imposed.

  Maximum Sanction: This is the maximum sanction that could be assigned by the Dean of Students Office. This sanction is "Up To and Including," meaning that any and all sanctions between the Minimum and the Maximum could be applied to a specific case depending on the severity and circumstances, as well as if the student had been found Responsible for similar violations in the past.

• Sanction Guidelines - Repeat Offenses

  The Dean of Students Office will take the following factors into consideration when determining sanctions for repeat offenses:

  • After the first incident(s) of academic misconduct, was the student assigned discretionary sanctions designed to educate the student?
  • Did this incident occur before or after the Dean of Students Office addressed the first case of academic misconduct?
  • Are the new allegations less severe, the same level, or more severe than prior offenses?
  • Is the nature of this offense the same as prior offenses?
  • What is the totality of the student鈥檚 disciplinary record?
  • Are there any mitigating circumstances that should be taken into consideration?

  If a student has received a warning as a prior sanction, the minimum sanction imposed for a repeat offense is one-year disciplinary probation.

  If a student has been placed on disciplinary probation as a past sanction but the disciplinary probation period has expired, the minimum sanction imposed for a repeat offense is two-years disciplinary probation.

  If a student is currently on disciplinary probation for academic misconduct, if the student has a history of academic dishonesty, or if the alleged academic misconduct is significantly egregious or serious, suspension or expulsion may be warranted. In these instances, the Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Conduct & Ethical Development will consult with the Dean of Students before moving forward.

  If a student has been suspended in the past for academic misconduct, the recommended sanction imposed for a repeat offense is expulsion.

• Possible Academic Penalties or Sanctions

  Cheating, plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty will first go through the student conduct process and then, if a violation of the Student Code of Conduct is found, an instructor may impose an academic penalty or sanction in addition to disciplinary sanctions. An academic penalty may not be imposed prior to, or without, the conclusion of the formal notation or student conduct process.
