For conduct violations related to Academic Dishonesty, see “Conduct Violation and Course of Action-Academic Dishonesty.” For all other conduct violations, follow the steps below:
1. A list of reportable concerns is located on the File A Report page in MyCVTC. CVTC uses these reports for documenting various incidents that may pose a harm or threat to CVTC students, staff, and visitors. Reports are routed to identified CVTC personnel for further action.
a. Reportable incidents include: Title IX – sexual harassment, concerns of harm to self, public safety, injuries, and clinical incidents/medication variances.
b. If you see something that is suspicious or criminal, report that behavior or activity to the Public Safety Office, or in the event of an emergency call 9-1- 1. The person who reported the emergency situation may be asked to complete a Public Safety Report, found on the File A Report page. If you have any concerns or trouble completing the form, please contact the Public Safety Office at 715-833-6202.
c. All other conduct concerns are handled initially through the Dean/Supervisor. See step 2 below.
2. All conduct concerns not reportable in step 1 are handled initially through the Dean/Supervisor. An instructor or other CVTC employee reports the behavior misconduct to their Dean/Supervisor. The Dean/Supervisor intervenes with student to address behaviors, share Code of Conduct expectations, and if the Dean/Supervisor feels it is necessary, have the student sign a Code of Conduct form indicating that they are aware of student conduct expectations.
a. The Dean/Supervisor provides direction and support to the staff member on how to deal with the situation in the future.
