Academic honesty, expected of every student, is essential to the process of education and to upholding high ethical standards. Cheating–including plagiarism; inappropriate use of technology, including use of artificial intelligence (AI) when prohibited; or any other kind of unethical or dishonest behavior–may subject the student to severe academic penalties, including dismissal.

Instructors are responsible for including an Academic Honesty statement in their syllabi which aligns with the content and delivery method of each course. This statement should include an outline of acceptable uses of AI by students. Students are responsible for understanding and abiding by acceptable use guidelines for each of their courses.��

All work submitted for evaluation in a course, including tests, term papers, and computer programs, must represent the work of the student as generated within the guidelines of the respective courses’ academic honesty syllabus policy.�� Material taken from the work of others must be acknowledged. Materials submitted to fulfill requirements in one course may not be submitted in another course without prior approval of the instructor(s) of each course (both past and present). If the past course instructor is no longer teaching at è��app����, the permission of the course’s department chair must be sought.

Concerns about the propriety of obtaining outside assistance, including the use of AI in assignment creation and completion, as well as how and when to acknowledge sources should be addressed to the instructor of the course before the work commences and as necessary as the work proceeds.

Instructors should indicate specific penalties for academic dishonesty in their course syllabi. Penalties, appropriate to the severity of the infraction, may include resubmission of the same or a modified assignment, reduced or zero credit for the assignment, or failure in the course. If a student withdraws from a course after academic dishonesty has taken place a course grade of F instead of W may be assigned at the faculty member’s discretion. In egregious cases and/or cases of repeated dishonesty, additional penalties may be determined by the associate dean of the appropriate college, such as suspension or dismissal from the University. In a case of dismissal, Academic Dismissal will be noted on the transcript.

A written report of the incident by the instructor or department chair will be sent to the dean of the college, who will keep a written record of the complaint when it is filed, and will forward a copy of the complaint to the appropriate associate dean’s office at the time. The associate dean will place a copy of this record in the student’s file and provide the student with a copy. A written record of the complaint is kept for cases of repeat violations. The associate dean will review the case and determine if, in light of other information and records, further disciplinary action is warranted.

Appealing a Charge of Academic Dishonesty

The student has the right to appeal the accusation of academic dishonesty if the student believes it to be in error. Any appeal of a charge of academic dishonesty by a student is to be made first to the instructor. Grounds for appeals may include:

• Continuing ambiguity in the events surrounding the appraisal of Dishonesty

• Alternative interpretations of syllabus policy

• Delivery of a sanction inconsistent with the syllabus’ policy

The Policy and Procedure for Appeal of a Charge of Academic Dishonesty will be followed if a student wishes to contest a faculty member’s determination of academic dishonesty, as illustrated in the����and����policies.

The primary educational focus of the University is to create a safe and comfortable environment that fosters learning. Therefore, the University is committed to establishing a comprehensive program to prevent high-risk drinking behaviors as well as prevent the unlawful use, possession or distribution of alcoholic beverages. The University will work to provide an environment that supports those who choose not to drink as well as those of legal age who choose to consume alcohol responsibly.

The University expects students to recognize their personal responsibility in contributing to this learning and living environment by considering the impact of their decisions on themselves as well as the community regarding the use of alcohol. Behavior that infringes on the physical or emotional well-being of oneself or others and/or their pursuit of scholarship is unacceptable.

Students Under the Age of 21

The University prohibits possession or consumption of alcohol by individuals under the age of 21. Further, no underage individual may be in the presence of others possessing or consuming alcohol, regardless of whether the individual consuming or possessing alcohol is of legal age.

Students Over the Age of 21

The University permits individuals over the age of 21 to possess and consume alcohol. However, the University prohibits individuals over the age of 21 from being intoxicated or from engaging in other disruptive or disorderly behavior. This includes drinking or having open containers in public areas on University premises, (unless specifically authorized in designated areas for special events), or in University-owned vehicles.

The University also prohibits students over the age of 21 from bringing alcohol into the presence of students under 21, subject to the roommate exception outlined below.

The sale, manufacture or purchase of any alcoholic beverage on University premises is prohibited.

Fake ID's

Possession of a false identification (i.e. Fake ID's) is a violation of the Alcoholic Beverage Policy.

Roommate Exception to “In the Presence of Alcohol” Rule

Individuals over 21 who have an underage roommate(s) may consume alcohol in their rooms in the presence of their underage roommate(s), provided there are no guests present and the door is shut.

Other Student Responsibilities regarding Alcohol

Students are responsible for the activity that occurs in their residence whether on or off campus. Therefore, students providing their residence as a place for those under 21 to consume alcoholic beverages, either intentionally or recklessly (leaving residence unsecured, not monitoring guests), is not permitted.

Student safety and responsible drinking are the University’s main priorities with regard to the legal consumption of alcohol. Therefore, students of legal drinking age are expected to set a positive example to all minors by discouraging alcohol-related behavior that is abusive to oneself or to others. Additionally, expectations for students who reside in University assigned housing include:

1. For students 21 years and older, recurring patterns of irresponsible behavior could result in revoking the privilege to consume alcoholic beverages in the residence by the Office of Residence Life pending further disciplinary action.
2. Displays or collections of empty alcohol containers, such as bottles or boxes, are not permitted for those under 21. Displays or collections by those 21 or over need to be clean and free from debris.
3. Devices used for the rapid consumption of alcoholic beverages, such as funnels or bongs are prohibited.
4. Shot glasses may be possessed by individuals under the age of 21, but only for souvenir or decorative purposes. If any residue of liquid is present inside a shot glass and the owner is under 21, this policy is violated and the shot glass could be confiscated. For individuals under the age of 21, flasks are not permitted under any circumstances.
5. Drinking games, including beer pong and water pong, are prohibited. A drinking game is any game that encourages/forces a player to drink based on something that happens in the game (for example, if a player makes a cup, draws/plays a certain card, or rolls a certain combination of dice, etc., the player drinks).
6. The presence of keg beer or alcohol from other common sources is not permitted.

For students 21 years and older, recurring patterns of irresponsible behavior could result in revoking the privilege to consume alcoholic beverages in the residence halls��by the Office of Residence Life pending further disciplinary action.

Members of the University community are expected to be aware of and obey federal, state, and municipal laws or ordinances regulating the use, possession, sale or manufacture of alcoholic beverages. When the University is notified of students being cited for violations of law or ordinances by municipal, state, or federal authorities, those students may also face University conduct proceedings.

The University reserves the right to take disciplinary action against any student for off-campus behavior that violates this policy. This includes study abroad, immersion experiences, community service sites, and internship experiences.

If a student is found responsible for violation(s) of this policy, action will be taken to repair harm.�� Administrative actions may be taken to prevent further harm and to keep the University community safe. A list of possible outcomes can be found here: .

Illegal Drugs

The University prohibits the illegal use, possession, sale, distribution, manufacture, and/or growth of illegal, synthetic, or counterfeit drugs on University premises (includes property operated off the main campus), at any University sponsored event or program (including study abroad, immersion experiences, community service sites, and internship experiences) regardless of where it takes place. Association with (including the presence at) gatherings involving such use, possession, sale, distribution, manufacture or growth is also prohibited. Possession or use of equipment, products, or materials, that are used or are reasonably anticipated to be used in the manufacture, growth, distribution, sale, or use of illegal, synthetic, or counterfeit drugs or in the misuse, sale or distribution of prescription drugs is prohibited.

At �app����, the safety and welfare of each member of our community is critical. The University encourages students to report medical emergencies and crises when they arise. The University recognizes that a student may be hesitant to report medical emergencies and other crises if the student is engaged in behavior that violates policy during the medical emergency or crisis. This policy seeks to provide students with amnesty from related issues in the��student conduct process in appropriate situations. This policy cannot provide any additional protection from legal action outside the University.

Amnesty Policy

The University will typically provide a one-time amnesty to individuals who ask for assistance when experiencing a medical emergency or crisis, are assisted by others who seek help for them in a medical emergency or crisis, help others get help in a crisis, or proactively reach out to university personnel/resources for help due to behavior that violates University policy.��While students will be asked to complete wellness coaching following the incident, the student(s) will not be asked to participate in a conduct process. Information related to an incident where amnesty is granted may be used in subsequent disciplinary processes to establish the seriousness of repeated behavior or support a conduct violation for failing to comply with educational interventions.�� In all cases, amnesty may be denied to individuals who engage in behavior that��causes egregious harm, contributed to the underlying issue by providing drugs or alcohol to others in violation of University policy, have repeated qualifying incidents, or who are otherwise deemed inappropriate for amnesty under this policy.��The Director of Community Standards and Student Wellbeing or their designee will make determinations regarding who qualifies for medical amnesty.

Self-Reporting

In order to qualify for amnesty for self-reporting, the individual or someone acting on their behalf must proactively reach out to an RA or JCUPD (216) 397-1234 for on campus emergencies or 911 for off-campus emergencies and they must cooperate fully with emergency and University personnel involved in the situation.

Example 1: An underage student has consumed several alcoholic drinks in a short time period and contacts an RA or JCUPD to receive medical attention after beginning to slur speech and lose the ability to walk normally.

Example 2: An underage student has been drinking and was sexually assaulted and contacts an RA or JCUPD.

Example 3: A student smokes marijuana and experiences harmful side effects because the student recently started a new prescription.��The student asks a friend to call the RA on-call.

Reporting to Assist Others

In order to qualify for amnesty when offering help and assistance to others in crisis, the student rendering aid must do all of the following:

• Make a good-faith call for medical or emergency help on behalf of another student, è��app���� community member, or guest, whether on-campus or off-campus. A good faith call involves calling an RA or JCUPD (216) 397-1234 for on-campus emergencies or 911 for off-campus emergencies.
• Remain with the individual needing medical treatment and cooperate with emergency personnel.
• Meet with University officials after the incident and cooperate with any investigation of the incident.

Example 1: A student arrives back on campus after drinking at a house party and notices another student lying unconscious on a bench just off the quad. The student calls JCUPD to seek help for the unconscious student and waits for JCUPD to arrive and provide further instruction.

Example 2: A student walks out of a residence hall and starts to smoke marijuana on the quad. A fight breaks out on the quad between two students. The student calls JCUPD to intervene and waits for JCUPD to arrive and provide further instruction. Please note: this policy would not apply if the student who started the fight called to report the fight.

Only the student calling to report the concern would qualify for medical amnesty in the above examples. If the student requiring medical attention asks someone to call for help, both students may qualify for medical amnesty.

Safe Harbor Amnesty

The University encourages students who are struggling with substance abuse or a mental health crisis to receive help. If any student freely brings their own substance use, addiction, dependency, or mental health issue to the attention of University officials, they will typically be entitled to amnesty protections under this policy.

A written plan may be used to track cooperation with the Safe Harbor amnesty. In addition to the normal conditions applicable to amnesty, a failure to follow the action plan may result in the removal of amnesty protections or other interventions to protect the student and/or others.

The conduct expectations in the Community Standards Manual are fully applicable to off-campus behavior.�� The University reserves the right to investigate, review, and subsequently take University disciplinary action for the behavior of �app���� students in off-campus settings when such behavior is believed to have an impact on the �app���� community, is inconsistent with the conduct and character expectations for �app���� Students, disrupts the living and learning environment, or affects the integrity of the University. The decision to take action in such cases will be determined by the Director of Community Standards and Student Wellbeing or designee, who may investigate these allegations and make referrals to the conduct process if they determine that there is sufficient information to support moving forward with conduct processes. This provision is also applicable to students participating in service, studying abroad, participating in immersion trips, participating in student teaching or internships, participating in conferences or retreats, and/or visiting other colleg
