The Key

Student Conduct & Regulations 79|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey By signing under Option #2, the student indicates that the student has been informed of the accusations and intended sanction, but has not admitted to committing a violation or disagrees with the proposed sanction. Signing under Option #2 reserves the student’s right to request a formal hearing by handdelivering a letter to the Registrar within one (1) week of the student’s date on the Academic Dishonesty Report Form – Undergraduate Students. Failure to do so means that the student forfeits the student’s right to a formal hearing or appeal, the process is over, and the instructor is permitted to enforce the proposed sanction. 4. Reports and record keeping. When the instructor receives the signed Academic Dishonesty Report Form – Undergraduate Students from the student, the instructor shall make three copies: one for the instructor, one for the student, and one for the dean of the college in which the course is being taught. The original form, along with any relevant documentation, shall be hand-delivered to the Registrar within one (1) week of receiving the form from the student. If the student does not return the form within the three (3) day limit, then the instructor will note the failure to meet that deadline on the copy of the Academic Dishonesty Report Form – Undergraduate Students that the instructor retained from the initial meeting. The instructor then re-signs and dates that notation on the form. The instructor then makes three (3) copies: one for the instructor, one for the student, and one for the dean of the college in which the course is being taught. The original copy of the form, along with any relevant documentation, shall be hand-delivered to the Registrar within one (1) week of the date when the student returns the form to the instructor. As stated above, the process is over and the instructor is permitted to enforce the proposed sanction. The original copies of these Academic Dishonesty Report Forms – Undergraduate Students where students admitted to a violation by signing under Option #1, failed to meet with the instructor, or failed to meet the three-day deadline to return the signed form to the instructor shall be kept by the Registrar. These records are to be kept by the Registrar as evidence to be used in the event of future academic dishonesty violations by the same student. These records also may be used to tabulate anonymous statistical information. If the student in question is eventually suspended or dismissed from the University, these records shall be kept permanently (sanction #4). If a student is suspended from the University, these records are expunged after a six-year period (sanction #3). Otherwise, student records and all copies (sanctions #1 and #2) are destroyed two (2) years after the student graduates or leaves the University. 5. The student has ten (10) calendar days from the date the student was notified of the alleged academic dishonesty to request a formal hearing if the student misses the deadline to appear for a scheduled meeting, does not reschedule the meeting within three (3) days, or fails to return the Academic Dishonesty Form – Undergraduate Students within three (3) days.
