Conduct
The responsibility for administering student discipline at the University is vested in the
Division of Student and Alumni Services. Staff in the division investigate cases of
misconduct, meet with students to discuss their rights and responsibilities, and
refer cases to the appropriate hearing body. Conduct rules, disciplinary penalties, and
complete hearing procedures are contained in the Carolina Community.
The University reserves the right, in the interest of all its students, to decline admission,
to suspend, or to require the withdrawal of a student from University housing and/or
the University after all appropriate University procedures have been followed.
Registration at the University assumes the student's acceptance of responsibility for
compliance with all regulations published in this bulletin as well as any rules found in any
official publication.
Academic Discipline
Infractions of academic discipline in the undergraduate colleges are dealt with in
accordance with the Student Academic Responsibility Code. Such infractions include
but are not limited to cheating, plagiarism, and illegal use of old laboratory
reports.
Students accused of committing infractions of the Student Academic Responsibility Code may
receive a hearing before the Committee on Student Academic Responsibility
of the college in which the infraction has taken place. Each committee consists
of faculty members and student members.
Student Judicial System
The Office of Student Judicial Programs is responsible for administration of the judicial
system and the conduct regulations. The office conducts prehearing interviews with
students charged with a violation of the conduct regulations, takes administrative
disciplinary action in certain cases, conducts student/faculty judicial board hearings,
maintains all University disciplinary records, and serves as a resource to faculty,
staff, and students for disciplinary matters.
Withdrawal
Students who wish to withdraw may do so using the TIPS phone system. Any questions or
concerns regarding the withdrawal procedure should be addressed to either the
appropriate academic dean or to the Student Ombudsman. All withdrawal, refund,
and appeal procedures are outlined in Carolina Community and in this bulletin.
Automobiles
In view of the critical shortage of parking accommodations on campus, the University
discourages ownership or operation of automobiles by students and advocates increased
use of bicycles. Students who, nonetheless, must operate vehicles in the
University area are urged to familiarize themselves with pertinent rules and regulations
published by the Office of Vehicle Management and Parking Services.
