All misconduct must be reported according to university policy:
Who can make a report?
Anyone: students, faculty, staff, community members.
What can be reported?
Information to Include
Concerns should be submitted with concise, factual information including:
Please also submit relevant materials: documents, photographs, copy of student’s work
If you're not sure about reporting
Anyone may contact Student Rights & Accountability for consultation about a possible concern. Talking with Student Rights & Accountability does not obligate a person to file a report; typically, investigations do not begin unless a report is filed.
Who investigates?
The Director of Student Rights & Accountability is responsible for investigating concerns regarding student conduct, and violations of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Code.
Are records kept?
Yes.
However, not all reports are automatically entered into a student disciplinary record (such as reports of concerns that don't rise to the level of a policy violation).
If a student is found to have violated a policy and a permanent disciplinary record is kept, they still have the option to request that their record be expunged after a certain amount of time and depending on the severity of the violation.
Submit requests to expunge disciplinary records to the Interim Director/ Student Rights & Accountability Coordinator, Troy Esera ([email protected]).
When to submit a report or concern
In order to accomplish the educational goals of the process, to provide timely due process, and to avoid unnecessary complications to the investigatory process (because witnesses and/or evidence may no longer be available, memories fade, etc.), you are strongly urged to submit your concern immediately upon discovery.
If you with to discuss the process informally, please do not hesitate contact the Interim Director/ Student Rights & Accountability Coordinator, Troy Esera ([email protected]).

Informal
Not entered in to the student's disciplinary file. Typically, informal reports are made for first-time and/or minor offenses that do not result in grade reduction, failing grade, or removal from class. Informal records may become formal records if a student is found responsible for multiple academic infractions.
Formal
Entered in to the student's disciplinary file with the University. Formal records usually result from academic infractions that result in a failing grade, academic probation, suspension, or expulsion. Egregious violations or multiple violations will be entered as permanent records.
