If my instructor finds me responsible for academic misconduct and he or she chooses to handle the case informally, will the University maintain a record of the action?
Ordinarily not. Instructor interventions regarding academic misconduct are considered to be informal actions. As such, no formal records are maintained. Nevertheless, as a precaution against multiple violations, instructors are encouraged to notify the Dean’s Representative when informal actions are taken. This information will be maintained by the Dean’s Representative for the sole purpose of identifying students who have been involved in previous incidents. Once students are identified as having had previous informal violations, instructors are encouraged to refer subsequent incidents to the Dean’s Representative for formal interventions.
