Student Rights and Responsibilities

Conduct which interferes with College purposes is not acceptable, yet a member of the College community can rightfully expect that the College will exercise with restraint its power to regulate student behavior and that rules and regulations will be adopted only when the educational process clearly and directly requires such action. Students are accountable for their own conduct. Sanctions for violations of College rules and regulations for conduct which interferes with college affairs will be addressed by the College. Student conduct which involves an alleged violation of criminal law, will be referred to appropriate civil authorities.

Students at College of DuPage are expected to demonstrate qualities of morality, integrity, honesty, civility, honor and respect. Behavior which violates these standards for which discipline may be imposed includes, but is not limited to, the following:

Violation of Federal, State or Local Laws (Board Policy 20-40)

College disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against a student charged with a violation of a federal, state or local law which is also a violation of the Student Code of Conduct; that is, if both violations result from the same factual situation, without regard to pending civil litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. Proceedings under this code may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with or following civil or criminal proceedings off-campus.
When a student is charged by federal, state or local authorities with a violation of law, the College will not request or agree to special consideration for that individual because of the individual’s status as a student. If the alleged offense is also the subject of a proceeding before a judicial body under the Student Code of Conduct (Refer to the College Catalog), however, the College may advise off-campus authorities of the existence of the Student Code of Conduct and how such matters will be handled internally within the college community. The College will cooperate fully with law enforcement and other agencies in the enforcement of criminal law, on College of DuPage premises. Individual students and college employees, acting in their personal capacities, remain free to interact with governmental representatives as they consider appropriate.

For more information, contact the Dean of Students, (630) 942-2485.

Code of Academic Conduct (Board Policy 20-41)

All work submitted by students is expected to be the result of the student’s individual thoughts, research and self- expression. When students use ideas, wording, or organization from another source, the source shall be acknowledged appropriately.

The College will maintain disciplinary procedures to address violations of the Code of Academic Conduct.

Code of Academic Conduct Procedures

As members of the College of DuPage community, we have expectations of both faculty and students. Thus, there must be a shared commitment to the highest standards of learning.

Faculty and students have mutual responsibility for establishing a clear understanding of the importance of honest academic behavior and for practicing the College of DuPage values of Integrity, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.

Together we envision a positive learning environment that promotes the open exchange of ideas by practicing civility as defined in the Code of Student Conduct and ethical learning behaviors as defined in the Code of Academic Conduct.

Violations and Sanctions

Violations of the Code of Academic Conduct are activities (observed or reported) or materials that are deceitful and dishonest. Violations of the Code will be reported and determined in accordance with the processes described in the procedures relating to academic integrity. Sanctions for violations of the Code will be based upon the nature of the violation and may include any of the sanctions in the procedures relating to academic integrity.

Responsibilities of Students and Faculty

Students have the responsibility to:

Become fully knowledgeable of the Code of Academic Conduct;
Produce their own work;
Encourage honesty and integrity among their fellow students.

Faculty members have the responsibility to:

Review classroom expectations with respect to all aspects of academic honesty;
Describe those expectations clearly in the class syllabus;

Procedures for Violations of the Code of Academic Conduct

Discovery of Irregularity

As part of their responsibilities, faculty members must make judgments about the academic performance of their students, with due regard for established standards of scholarship. During this process, a faculty member may discover that a student’s activity or the material a student has submitted contains irregularities that appear to be violations of the Code of Academic Conduct. (If no faculty is directly involved, such as in the Testing Center, the person who discovers the irregularity will notify their unit administrator, who will then be responsible for executing the Code of Academic Conduct duties normally assigned to the faculty member involved.)

Notification to Student of Discovery of Violation(s) of the Code of Academic Conduct

When an irregularity is discovered, the faculty member will notify the student as promptly as reasonably allows, either orally or electronically, and will by means of this notification provide the student with a timely opportunity to meet and discuss the irregularity.

Initial Meeting with Student

At this meeting, the faculty member will determine whether or not an irregularity actually occurred. If so, the faculty member will then determine whether the situation is appropriately resolved by further instruction, in which case it becomes a learning opportunity, or if the alleged violation requires further investigation and a possible sanction. At the conclusion of the meeting, or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, the faculty member will inform the student of his or her determination.

Learning Opportunity

A faculty member may determine a violation has occurred but is unintended, e.g., the result of the student’s misunderstanding of the assignment or ignorance of research conventions. Rather than invoke the Code of Academic Conduct Violation procedure, the instructor may use the opportunity to advance the student’s learning by requiring a corrected version of the work in question. In such a case, the instructor may grade only the final product and may not impose any sanction.

Learning Opportunities are to be settled between the faculty member and the student. No report to either the Division Dean or the Dean of Students is necessary.
If the student refuses the Learning Opportunity procedure, he/she must be informed that, in consequence, the instructor may choose to file a complaint alleging academic dishonesty with the Dean of Students.

Informal Faculty Resolution of the Complaint Instances

When a Code of Academic Conduct violation occurs which would result in a sanction no greater than failure of the assignment or test, and for which the student accepts responsibility, the faculty member and the student may resolve the complaint between them by:

Discussing the violation.
If the faculty member is confident that the student understands and acknowledges that he/she did something wrong and the student is willing to accept the sanction considered appropriate by the faculty member (failure on the assignment; failure on the test; completion of an alternative assignment; or failure for the course), the matter can be resolved between the faculty member and the student.
The faculty member then fills out the Academic Dishonesty form indicating the matter will be recorded in the Judicial Database, but no further action is required, which is then signed by both the faculty member and the student.
Copies of the form are kept by the faculty member, given to the student, the Division Dean, and the Dean of Students.
If the Dean of Students’ office determines the student has been responsible for prior violations, the matter may be referred for a formal hearing.

FORMAL RESOLUTION OF THE COMPLAINT

In instances when the student denies complicity in an act of academic dishonesty or when prior methods to bring the issue to closure were not effective, a student must be afforded the due process of a Formal Judicial Hearing.

DETERMINATION OF THE NEED FOR A FORMAL JUDICIAL HEARING

If, after talking with the involved student, the faculty member determines the situation involved an apparent Code of Academic Conduct violation for which the student denies responsibility or for which a sanction great than

failure in an assignment;
failure on a test;
completion of an alternative assignment;
or failure in the course may be warranted, the faculty member will confer with the Division Dean to determine if a Formal Judicial Hearing is appropriate.

If the need for a Formal Judicial Hearing is determined, the faculty member will complete the portion of the Academic Dishonesty Complaint form which requests a Formal Judicial Hearing by the Dean of Students or designee. The report will describe the violation and include all relevant backup material.

NOTIFICATION TO STUDENT OF A FORMAL JUDICIAL HEARING

In preparation for the Formal Judicial Hearing, the Dean of Students will review the student’s file to determine if this is a first offense.
The Dean will place the student’s registration on temporary hold, so that the student can neither withdraw from the course in question nor register for future courses until the current matter is settled.
The Dean will notify the student in writing that the complaint has been filed (enclosing a copy of the Academic Dishonesty Complaint form completed by the instructor and the Code of Academic Conduct Policy and Procedure) and require the student to attend a Formal Judicial Hearing with the Dean or designee.
If the student fails to attend the Judicial Hearing or if the student does not respond to the Hearing notice, the student registration record will remain on hold until the matter has been formally resolved.
If the process cannot be completed before the end of the term, the instructor may be directed to assign the student an Incomplete (I) in place of a grade for the course, to be changed when the matter is resolved.

FORMAL JUDICIAL HEARING

During the hearing, the Dean of Students or designee will review both the complaint and the Code of Academic Conduct procedures with the student to ensure the student understands them clearly and is aware of the possible consequences.

The student will have an opportunity to present evidence and/or make statements in his/her behalf.
At the conclusion of the hearing, if the student now agrees that he/she was involved in a violation of the Code of Academic Conduct, the Dean or designee will complete the Judicial Hearing Outcome Form, assigning the appropriate sanction(s), which may include completion of learning modules from the College of DuPage Library Workshops.
In the event the student has been found at fault in an earlier incident involving academic dishonesty, the Dean or designee will determine whether a greater degree of sanction is appropriate.
If the Dean or designee has determined that no academic dishonesty has taken place, no sanction will be assigned. The student will then have the option of completing the class; transferring to another section of the same class, if that is possible; or withdrawing from the class.
The hold will be removed from the student’s record.
In cases where the student is required to complete a Library Workshop, the hold will be removed upon notification that has been completed.
The student should understand that a record of the judicial proceedings will be kept on file for a period of three years.
At this point, notice of academic dishonesty will not be recorded on the student’s transcript. However, should the student require a transfer application to another institution or apply for an honor or award, which require disclosure of the student’s academic honesty, if it is within the three-year period, such academic dishonesty will be disclosed.
At the conclusion of the Formal Hearing, the student will be handed a Hearing Outcome Form which clearly states the sanction(s) imposed. The student will be required to sign and date the form. The original signed copy will be given to the student; the other copy will become part of the student’s file. Outcome information on this form will be shared with the faculty member making the original complaint, the associate dean in that area, and be added to the Judicial Database.
A follow-up letter will be sent to the student reiterating the charge and the sanction(s).

FORMAL HEARING OUTCOME

At the conclusion of the Hearing, if the Dean or designee determines that a violation of the Code of Academic Conduct has occurred, one or more of the following sanctions will be administered, based upon the Dean’s or designee’s judgment concerning the nature of the violation.

Code of Academic Conduct

As members of the College of DuPage Community, we have expectations of both faculty and students. Thus, there must be a shared commitment to the highest standards of learning. Faculty and students have mutual responsibility for establishing a clear understanding of the importance of honest academic behavior and for practicing the College of DuPage values of Integrity, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. Together we envision a positive learning environment that promotes the open exchange of ideas by practicing civility as defined in the Code of Student Conduct and ethical learning behaviors as defined in the Code of Academic Conduct.

Violations

The objective of the Code of Academic Conduct is to sustain an environment in which students recognize and demonstrate the importance of being accountable for their academic behavior:

STUDENTS HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO:

Become fully knowledgeable of the Code of Academic Conduct;
Produce their own work;
Encourage honesty and integrity among their fellow students.

FACULTY MEMBERS HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO:

Review classroom expectations with respect to all aspects of academic honesty;
Describe those expectations clearly in the class syllabus;
Inform the student directly of any charges of academic dishonesty;
Apply Code of Academic Conduct Procedures in a consistent manner;
Determine the academic consequence of the student’s academic dishonesty.

As members of the College Community, students are expected to refrain from academic dishonesty in all forms, including, but not limited to:

Cheating – copying or attempting to copy from another student in any work submitted for evaluation, whether tests or assignments; intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information or study aids; use of any unauthorized assistance, resources, materials or electronic/ cellular devices in taking quizzes, tests or examinations; altering graded work after it has been returned, then submitting the work to be re-graded.
Plagiarism – the reproduction of ideas, words or statements of another person as one’s own without acknowledgement, or use of an agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.
Unauthorized Collaboration – intentionally sharing or working together on an academic exercise when such actions are not approved by the course instructor.
Furnishing False Information – intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation furnished to any College official, faculty member or office; misuse of identification with intent to defraud or deceive.
Facilitation of Academic Dishonesty – permitting or attempting to help another violate the Code of Academic Conduct; alteration or sabotage of another student’s work, such as tampering with laboratory experiments.
Abuse of Academic Materials – Destroying, stealing or making inaccessible library, laboratory or other academic resource material, or attempting to do so; stealing or otherwise obtaining advance copies of placement tests; the acquisition, without permission, of a test or other academic material belonging to College of DuPage, to any department, or to any staff member; duplicating copyrighted software without authorization or using such software on College computers; “hacking” on College computers or installing “virus” programs.
Bribes, Favors and Threats – Bribing or attempting to bribe, promising favors to, or making threats against, any person with the intention of affecting an evaluation of a student’s academic performance; conspiring with another person who then performs one of these acts on one’s behalf.
Complicity in Academic Dishonesty – Helping another commit an act of academic dishonesty, especially providing material or information to another person with knowledge that this will be used deceitfully in an academic evaluation activity; permitting one’s own work to be submitted by another person as if it were that person’s original work.
Falsification of Records and Official Documents – Altering transcripts, grade reports or other documents affecting academic records; forging a signature of authorization or falsifying information on any academic document, such as permission forms, petitions or other documents.
Personal Misrepresentation and Proxy – Taking another person’s place in an exam, placement test or other academic activity, either before or after enrollment; having another person participate in an academic evaluation activity or evaluation in place of oneself.

Discovery of Irregularity

As part of their responsibilities, faculty members must make judgments about the academic performance of their students, with due regard for established standards of scholarship. During this process, a faculty member may discover that a student’s activity or the material a student has submitted contains irregularities that appear to be violations of the Code of Academic Conduct. If no faculty is directly involved, such as in the Testing Center, the person who discovers the irregularity will notify their unit administrator, who will then be responsible for executing the Code of Academic Conduct duties normally assigned to the faculty member involved.

Resolution of Complaint

At the conclusion of the meeting (referred as an Informal Hearing), or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible, the faculty member will inform the student of his or her determination. A student’s failure to attend the meeting does not stop the process from going forward.

When a faculty member determines a violation has occurred but is unintended (e.g., the result of the student’s misunderstanding of the assignment or ignorance of research conventions), then, rather than invoke the Code of Academic Conduct Violation procedure, the faculty might use the opportunity to advance the student’s learning by requiring a corrected redo of the work in question. In such a case, the instructor may choose not impose any sanction.

These Learning Opportunities are to be settled between the faculty member and the student. No report to either the Division Associate Dean or the Dean of Students is necessary. If the student refuses the Learning Opportunity procedure, he/ she must be informed that, as a consequence, the instructor may choose to file a complaint alleging academic dishonesty with the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students will initiate a Formal Hearing with the student.

Sanctions

If, as a result of an Informal or Formal Hearing, it is determined that a violation of the Code has indeed occurred, sanctions will be imposed based upon the nature of the violation. Sanctions include, but are not limited to:

Plagiarism remediation
Disciplinary warning
Disciplinary probation
Disciplinary loss of privileges
Withdrawal from class
Limited access
Disciplinary suspension
Community service

Appeal Rights and Process

A standing Judicial Review Board (described in Board Procedure 20-35) will hear testimony and make recommendations on appropriate disciplinary cases referred to it by the Vice President of Student Affairs. If, through a Formal Judicial Hearing, there is a finding that a student has violated the Code of Academic Conduct and sanctions have been imposed, that student has the right to appeal the finding(s) or sanction(s) or both to the Judicial Review Board (JRB).

A student who wishes to appeal the outcome a Formal Judicial Hearing must do so within two business weeks of the date on the Hearing Outcome Form received from the Dean of Students or designee.

The appeal must be addressed to the Vice President of Student Affairs; it must be typewritten; and must state the grounds for appeal. If the student wishes to appear in person before the Judicial Review Board, this must be indicated in writing in the appeal letter. The Vice President of Student Affairs will arrange a meeting convenient to all parties.

In the event of an appeal, the decision(s) of the Judicial Review Board will be final. In the event the student does not appeal within the required two-week period, the decision of the Dean of Students or designee will be final.

The Code of Academic Conduct information above has been excerpted from Board Policy and Procedure 20-41. For the complete Policy and Procedure, contact the Dean of Students.
