The University of Minnesota administrative policy on “Resolving Alleged Student Conduct Code Violations” charges each college of the University with responsibility for establishing specific procedures to ensure academic integrity.

Resolving Alleged Student Conduct Code Violations

The purpose of this student disciplinary process is to provide a framework for resolving complaints about violations of Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code , so that:

--Resolution without recourse to formal hearings is encouraged.

--Student development is emphasized. The disciplinary process emphasizes the educational purpose in student discipline, including helping students understand and accept responsibility for their own behavior.

--Community interests are met. While the emphasis of the process is on responsible student self-development, in fairness to the community, the imposition of sanctions may be necessary.

--Students receive fair treatment. If the academic integrity matter cannot be resolved without a hearing, students have the opportunity to receive a fundamentally fair hearing and option for appeal.
