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.
