Handling Alleged Student Violations

If you suspect that a student has violated the University Guidelines for Responsible Computing, please email the Director of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices and provide the following information:

• name of the student
• student account username (if known)
• nature of the violation
• evidence

Based on the evidence and nature of the offense, the following actions may occur sequentially or individually:

• Contacting the student with a "Good Neighbor" phone call or letter
  The "Good Neighbor" approach informs the student that certain actions outlined in the University Guidelines for Responsible Computing are not permitted. Students will be encouraged to be a "Good Neighbor" and to refrain from inappropriate behaviors.
• Administrative Action
  Violations may result in the Office of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices (link to page) to instruct the Office of Technology Services to revoke or restrict the computer privileges of the student.
• Disciplinary Action
  Violations may result in disciplinary action outlined in the Code of Student Accountability.
• Legal Action
  Alleged violations may also be referred to local, state and/or federal authorities.
