Code of Student Conduct

Louisiana Delta Community College expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity in harmony with its educational goals, be responsible for their actions, observe national, state, and local laws and college regulations, and respect other people’s rights, privileges, and property.

PROCEDURES

Academic and Non-Academic Acts of Misconduct- Student Rights and Responsibilities

SECTION ONE -ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

1.1 Types of Academic Misconduct

Although all academic misconduct is wrong, premeditated acts of academic misconduct represent a greater threat to the integrity of the College than unpremeditated acts of academic misconduct. Louisiana Delta Community College establishes the following definitions and distinctions between the two types of academic misconduct.

1.01:01

Unpremeditated academic misconduct is an act of academic misconduct taken without advance contemplation, prior determination, planning, or full understanding that the act is considered academic misconduct: e.g., on the spur-of-the-moment; seizing the opportunity to cheat; collaboration to a greater degree than is permitted in a situation; careless or incomplete documentation of sources and references.

1.01:02

Premeditated academic misconduct is an act of academic misconduct that grows out of advanced contemplation or meditation, prior deliberation, or planning, which may include the preparation of a written plan or notes.

Although prior thought and planning are requisite to premeditation, the prior thought and planning need not exist for any period of time before it is carried into effect.

1.2 Categories of Academic Misconduct

1.02:01

Cheating is the intentional use of inappropriate and unauthorized assistance, information, materials, or study aids in any academic exercise and includes multiple submissions of the same or part of the same work to different instructors for different assignments in the same semester or in a different semester. Cheating includes but is not limited to, the use of unauthorized assistance (e.g. collaboration with peers or artificial intelligence platforms and applications like AI chatbots ChatGPT and GPT-4), information, or materials on tests, homework, quizzes, papers, projects, and all other academic assignments. Attempting to pass off work created by artificial intelligence (AI) sources as original constitutes cheating unless AI sources are specifically authorized by the instructor for an assignment. Additionally, the act of conspiracy for the purpose of defrauding also constitutes cheating.

1.02:02

Fabrication is the misrepresentation of a signature or a document as original (authentic) and includes the fabrication of any part of an individual or group academic assignment or of official documents of the College or outside agencies, including drop/add slips, excused absence slips, and medical documentation. Fabrication also includes making up or changing data or results, relying on someone else’s results in experiments or laboratory assignments, or collaborating with artificial intelligence (AI) sources without authorization from the instructor. Citing sources that have not been used or consulted is also an offense.

1.02:03	Plagiarism constitutes using another person’s ideas, words, data, arguments, or sentence structure in any academic assignment as the student’s own without proper documentation or citation. Unauthorized collaboration with artificial intelligence chatbots or other AI composition software also constitutes plagiarism.
1.02:04	Misrepresentation is intentionally presenting oneself as someone else or intentionally representing the condition or the situation as more or less than what it actually is to gain credit or special concessions on individual or group academic work, including make-up tests, projects, and class assignments.
1.02:05	Violation of class rules is the intentional failure to follow the rules of each individual class concerning academic assignments and class behavior as referenced in the course syllabus.
1.02:06	Complicity is the willingness to involve others in any academic misconduct.
1.02:07	Software Fraud is the unlawful downloading and copying of computer software used to create academic work.
1.02:08	Multiple work submissions involve handing in academic work that was done previously by the student for another class or by someone else.

1.3 Academic Offenses and Sanctions

The instructor reserves the right to levy the following sanctions, which are dependent on the frequency and gravity of the alleged offense:

1.03:01	The reduced grade for the assignment
1.03:01	Failing grade for the assignment
1.03:03	Reduced final grade for the course
1.03:04	Failing grade for the course

The following sanctions may be levied against the student by the Academic Division Chair or the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. If the offense warrants the following disciplinary actions, instructor consultation with the appropriate academic supervisor is required:

1.03:05	Referral for counseling
1.03:06	Dismissal from a program of study
1.03:07	Suspension from the College
1.03:08	Expulsion from the College

1.4 Due Process for Academic Misconduct and Student Appeals

1.04:01	The faculty member will notify the student in writing of the academic misconduct charges, a description of the evidence, and the disciplinary sanction. An email will suffice as written correspondence. If the penalty resides with an authority higher than the instructor, the faculty member will confer with the Division Chair/Program Director and then communicate the intended sanction with the student.
1.04:02	The faculty member will notify the student in writing of the academic misconduct charges, a description of the evidence, and the disciplinary sanction. An email will suffice as written correspondence. If the penalty resides with an authority higher than the instructor, the faculty member will confer with the Division Chair/Program Director and then communicate the intended sanction with the student.
1.04:03	Division Chairs/Program Directors may meet with the student and/or faculty member to discuss the evidence and disciplinary sanctions. Division Chairs/Program Directors must respond, in writing, to the student and instructor within seven (7) calendar days of receipt. The response will communicate the conditions for granting or denying the student’s appeal.
1.04:04	Students who do not agree with the charges and/or sanctions as decided by the Division Chair/Program Director may appeal to the Vice Chancellor of Education and Student Services (VCESS). Appeals to the VCESS must be submitted in writing within five (5) calendar days of notification from the Division Chair/Program Director that the appeal has been denied. The VCESS will respond, in writing, with a decision regarding the student’s appeal within ten (10) calendar days of receipt.

No refund or credit of tuition, fees, or other costs associated with attendance at the College will be made to students when discipline sanctions are imposed, which result in the student being deprived of privileges and/or access to services.

In the case of serious violations, a notation of the discipline matter will be placed on a student’s academic transcript until it is cleared. In the case of dismissal from the College, the record is permanent.

Discipline records are confidential in accordance with federal and state laws. The contents of the student discipline record may not be released to anyone not associated with campus discipline except upon written approval of the student or a court-ordered subpoena or by the administration of FERPA.

2.04:01	Written Reprimand: from the appropriate Administrator to the student on whom the penalty is imposed, placed in the student’s permanent discipline record.

2.04:07	Restitution: repair or replacement of property damaged.
2.04:08	Fines: monetary fines to fit the case. If the fine is not paid, it remains on the student’s record as indebtedness to the College, which renders the student ineligible to register for subsequent semesters or receive official transcripts.

2.04:09

Cancellation of registration or denial of credit may be imposed in cases where the student is found responsible for withholding information relating to the student’s admission, transfer credits, academic status, records, etc.

2.04:10

Suspension: may be used in the event of a threat to the safety of the College community or if a student refuses to answer a summons.

If the student is suspended or expelled after the published automatic “W” grade deadline date, the student will receive an “F” in the currently enrolled course(s).

A written report is made indicating the imposed sanctions. The student may appeal the sanctions of the Administrator and request a hearing before the Disciplinary Hearing Committee. Requests for appeals must be submitted in writing to the Administrator within five calendar days of the notification of the administrative sanction.

2.04:12

Bar Against Readmission: written notification issued to a student who has left the College that he/she will not be allowed to re-enroll until the pending discipline matter has been resolved.

Students may appeal to the Student Disciplinary Hearing Committee for readmission to the College after one year.

2.5 Appeal Procedures

LDCC adheres to LCTCS Policy # 2.004 Student Conduct and Appeals Procedures.

Any student has the right to submit a written appeal to the decision or any sanction imposed within five calendar days to the Dean of Enrollment Services if any of the following apply: insufficient evidence to support the charge(s); sanctions imposed were inappropriate; information discovered that indicates that the administrator or committee members were not impartial.
