STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND DUE PROCESS PROCEDURE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE 5520
DISCIPLINARY ACTION
Disciplinary action appropriate to the misconduct as defined in BP 5500 may be taken by an instructor (see items C-1 and 5 below), the dean of student services or his or her designee (see items C-1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 below), and the Board of Trustees (see item C8 below).
Consequences for Academic Dishonesty
When an instructor has determined that there is evidence of dishonesty in any academic work, the student may receive a failing grade for that piece of work and disciplinary action may be pursued. Any or all of the following actions may be imposed:
• The instructor may assign a failing grade (no credit) to an examination or assignment in which academic dishonesty occurred;
• The instructor may remove the student from the class or activity for the day of the incident and one additional class day as stipulated in C.5 of this procedure;
• The instructor may complete the appropriate reporting forms (Disciplinary Form C – Academic Dishonesty Report Form and/or Disciplinary Form B – Notice of Suspension from Class/Lab/Library) and submit them along with a copy of the evidence to the dean of student services or his or her designee. This information will be placed in the student’s file; and.
• If there is evidence of serious or repeated violations of academic honesty, the college may pursue additional disciplinary action in accordance with the disciplinary measures outlined in this procedure.
Notify Campus Police
Misconduct as noted in BP 5500 sections II, III, IV, V and VI should be brought to the immediate attention of the Campus Police or local police department/security force (for courses taught off campus). This does not preclude a staff member from calling Campus Police for any other misconduct that warrants such action. Campus Police are to be called immediately and a police report will be written with notice to the director of student development, or his or her designee.
