Academic Misconduct
The HAUniv student is expected to act in a responsible manner, as expected in a university setting, in all activities connected with his or her studies. Instances of cheating, lying, violating courses rules, copyright infringement, or damaging/destroying the University facilities or equipment violate the Code of Student Ethics. If it is determined, by a professor or other appropriate University official, that a student has acted unprofessionally, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action. Such action shall include but not be limited to: a failing grade on the work product, a failing grade in the course, or expulsion from the program. The severity of the action shall be jointly determined by the appropriate Professor and the Academic Standing Committee. The student shall have the right to appeal to the Provost (or Academic Dean) in writing, stating the reason for the appeal. A personal meeting with the Provost (or Academic Dean) may be arranged. The Provost’s (or Academic Dean’s) decision is final. All appeals must be made no later than four weeks from the date of the decision of the Academic Standing Committee or four weeks from the distribution of final grades.
