Student Does Not Admit Responsibility
If the student does not admit responsibility, the
Faculty member must note on the referral form
the appropriate academic sanction if the student
is found responsible. Academic sanctions are
appropriate outcomes of assignment grades,
course grades, or exam results.
The Faculty member will evaluate the disputed
assignment or examination on its merits and note
the grade to be assigned if the student is not
found responsible.
If grades are due while the case is in progress, the
Faculty member should assign a temporary grade
placeholder of Grade Delay “GD” pending the
outcome of the review process.
For alleged research non-compliance, the Faculty
member or university official must note the
appropriate sanction on the referral
form. Sanctions for research non-compliance
may include temporary suspension from the lab,
halting of all research activity, publication delay
or retraction, additional training, or NC grade in
research units.
Upon receipt of the Graduate Academic Integrity
Violation Referral, the Associate Dean for
Graduate Academic Affairs will notify the student
of the University of California Policy on Student
Conduct and Discipline that was allegedly
violated, the factual basis for the charges, and
the plan to conduct an Initial Administrative
Review of the case. The student will be advised
that the Initial Administrative Review is intended
as a thorough exposition of all related facts and
written materials associated with the alleged
academic misconduct, and that it is not intended
as an adversarial criminal or civil legal
proceeding. The student will also be informed of
the student’s right to be assisted by an advisor of
the student’s choice. Such written notification
will occur within 14 calendar days of the receipt of the referral by the Associate Dean and will be
sent to the student’s University e-mail address.
