Student and Academic Discipline

Student Discipline
Students may continue at the University, receive academic credits, graduate, and
obtain degrees subject to the disciplinary powers of the University. The Trustees of
the University have delegated responsibility for student discipline to the Deans of the
individual schools or divisions, and their administration of student discipline is
known as Dean's Discipline. Students should be aware that academic
dishonesty (for example, plagiarism, cheating on an examination, or dishonesty in
dealing with a faculty member or other University official) or the threat of violence
or harassment are particularly serious offenses that will be dealt with severely
under Dean's Discipline.


Academic Discipline
In addition to Dean's Discipline, each School or division of the University has
established standards of academic progress and requirements for remaining
in academic good standing. Progress and standing are monitored by the Dean's Office
of the respective school or division. For further information about academic standards
and requirements students should consult the bulletin of the school or division in
which they are enrolled. The continuance of each student upon the rolls of the University, the receipt of academic credits, graduation, and the conferring
of any degree or the granting of any certificate are strictly subject to the disciplinary
powers of the University.
