Indiana Tech manages student policy violations using software designed to record student policy violations, track completions of sanctions, and assure timely follow up. Policy violations are associated with three areas: academic, behavioral, and student employment. In most cases, a student charged with a violation of university policy will be given an electronic notification of the infraction or a written statement of the charges within 48 hours unless a preliminary investigation or intake meeting is needed to validate accuracy or merit of the allegation. If needed, an investigation will be conducted on policy violations concluding with sanctions where applicable. Previous behavioral conduct will be considered in determination of conduct sanctions. A record of the infraction or referral will be kept as part of the student\u2019s permanent record for a minimum of 10 years. If and when a student reaches three university policy infractions, a review of the student\u2019s enrollment continuation may be held. The review will be requested by the department of student affairs and conducted by a Student Conduct Committee which is described under the appeal procedures. Students will be notified when their conduct is under review and when final decisions are made regarding remediation or disciplinary sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The student conduct procedures are designed to protect a student\u2019s right for an impartial review of serious and\/or repeat conduct issues for which disciplinary action might jeopardize his\/her academic progress or enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The university has a variety of disciplinary tools available to handle difficulties that might arise. (See sections on academic regulations, residence hall regulations and university regulations and policies for situations that would result in disciplinary sanctions.) The tools are as follows, in order of severity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students who wish to contest a conduct outcome may choose to submit an appeal. Students may utilize an advisor to assist with their appeal but the appeal must be submitted by the student. Appeal requests must be submitted within 72 hours of the decision to the appropriate vice president. Appeals for behavioral conduct must be submitted to the Vice President of Student Affairs while appeals for academic integrity violations are submitted to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Appeal considerations are typically granted for three specific reasons: procedural errors during case resolutions or investigations, previously unavailable evidence, or inconsistent sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vice president assigned to review the appeal will evaluate the appeal submission which may include a meeting to discuss the request. If the appeal is accepted, the Vice President may render a decision on the outcome or sanctions or the case may be referred to the Student Conduct Committee for a hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Student Conduct Committee (SCC) may be convened to serve as an appeals board for students who wish to contest decisions regarding dismissals, academic violations, or behavioral violations rendered by the department of academic affairs or the department of student affairs. The SCC will contain three to five members of which includes a cross-section of departments at Indiana Tech in order to ensure adequate collection of information regarding student conduct and enrollment status. In most cases, the appeal process should take no longer than one business week. Except in the case of a dismissal appeal rendered by the student affairs department during which the academic representative will serve as chair, the designated student affairs representative will serve as the committee chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
