II. Initial discussion regarding alleged academic misconduct (attempt to resolve): The instructor should meet with the student in
a timely fashion (upon discovery of a potential issue) and attempt to resolve the matter with the student. If the student does
not respond to instructor requests to meet, the instructor should forward the matter for disposition under the Student Code of
Conduct (see IV.B. below).

IV. Disposition is either achieved or not achieved:
A. Disposition achieved (check and sign below). Academic misconduct is established by the instructor and the student
agrees that it has occurred. Disposition of this instance of academic misconduct is final. The matter will be forwarded to the
Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities for conduct sanctioning. When informal disposition is achieved, the academic
consequences may not be appealed under the Student Appeals for Academic Affairs
policy.
B. Disposition is not achieved (check and sign below). The student does not agree that academic misconduct occurred; or
the student does not respond to instructor requests to meet for discussion; or the student does not return the form by the
specified deadline (student signature is not obtained in these circumstances). The instructor shall immediately seek disposition
under the Student Code of Conduct through the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities, in accordance with which, the
intended academic consequences will be included as part of the referral. Should a determination of academic misconduct be
made, the academic consequence will be imposed, along with appropriate conduct sanctions.
