Student Conduct & Regulations 81|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey 5. When the student is found not responsible. Assuming the student is found not responsible, the student has the right to complete the course in question without penalty due to this unproved accusation. The student’s grade in the course should be based upon the student’s academic performance during the course and be consistent with grading procedures used for other students in the same course as if no complaint of academic dishonesty had ever been made. A student who is found not responsible of violating the Academic Honesty Policy, but who nevertheless feels penalized for it, can appeal the grade separately under the University’s Grade Appeal Policy (if the student received an “F” in the course). 6. When the student is found responsible. If the student is found to be responsible for a violation of the Academic Honesty Policy, then the instructor of the course is permitted to assess the first or second sanctions listed in this policy, provided the sanction does not exceed the proposed sanction on the Academic Dishonesty Report Form – Undergraduate Students that the instructor may have filled out to begin the Informal Resolution Process. When a student is found to be responsible (either by the Undergraduate Academic Honesty Committee or during the appeal process), the Registrar shall check the student’s records for earlier violations of the policy (and this policy only). If such violations exist, then the Undergraduate Academic Honesty Committee or the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs or the University President, depending on who made the finding for responsibility, may examine the records of the previous violation(s) and take them into account when considering the sanctions of temporary suspension and permanent dismissal from the University. 7. Filing of reports and record keeping. As with the records of academic dishonesty in cases that are resolved by the Informal Resolution Process, the records of students found responsible through the Formal Resolution Process should be kept by the Registrar for future reference as described in Part 4 of the Informal Resolution Process above.
