Disciplinary Procedures
This policy was adopted by the Central Connecticut State University Faculty Senate on May 10, 2010, amended on February 14, 2011, amended on December 5, 2011, and amended May 4, 2020.
The following procedure guides instructors in addressing allegations of academic misconduct for all students of Central Connecticut State University. Academic misconduct is defined in the Student Code of Conduct and spelled out at www.ccsu.edu/AcademicIntegrity. Instructors and students should be aware of this definition; instructors should consult it as a guide for addressing academic dishonesty in their classes. This procedure must be established by the Senate, in agreement with the University President.
The basic principle of this procedure is that instructors have oversight over academic penalties. In cases involving multiple acts of misconduct, and/or which involve both academic and non-academic misconduct, only the academic portion shall be handled according to the disciplinary procedures for academic misconduct described below. The non-academic portion shall be handled through the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities which may precede any academic disciplinary action.
