The following are
the disciplinary actions stated by Florida International University if instances
of plagiarism are discovered:
Expulsion: Permanent
separation of the student from the University preventing readmission to the
institution. This sanction shall be recorded on the student's transcript.
Suspension: Temporary
separation of the student from the University for a specified period of time.
This sanction shall be recorded on the student's transcript. (In the semester
prior to graduation, the student may petition to have the record removed from
the transcript).
Disciplinary Probation:
Formal, written warning that the continued enrollment of the student depends on
the maintenance of satisfactory citizenship during the period of probation. May
also include a deferred sanction, which identifies the minimum sanction that
would occur, if the student were found responsible for any future misconduct. A
record of disciplinary probation and deferred sanction will be kept in the
Office of Academic Affairs.
Failing or
Reduction of Grade: Failing or grade reduction
for the examination, project, or course assignment involved or for the course
involved. May include prohibiting the use of the Forgiveness Policy for the
course.
Restitution: Reimbursement
for damages incurred.
Restriction: Temporary or permanent loss of
privilege of the use of a University facility or service.
Service: A requirement to render a designated
number of hours of specified service to the University or community.
Counseling: A requirement to seek professional
counseling in order to remain at the University.
Education: A requirement to enroll in and
successfully pass a specified course or program, which is determined as
appropriate by the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.
Other: Other disciplinary
penalties as are considered fair and appropriate.
Sanctions
resulting from an informal resolution may not include Expulsion, Suspension, or
Disciplinary Probation.
The
minimum sanction imposed on a student found responsible during a formal hearing
will be failure of the course and a prohibition on the application of the
Forgiveness Policy for that course. Sanctions might also include any of the
sanctions listed above.
It shall be the
responsibility of the appropriate Vice Provost or designee to keep a record and
implement sanctions resulting from both the informal and formal misconduct
procedures.
