9.2.1 Professional and Conduct Standards
All students in the CIED program must uphold the code of conduct as defined in Article I of the Institute’s Code of Conduct Policy.
A. Informal Resolutions
When a violation occurs in an academic or clinical setting, faculty of record aim to address minor conduct issues informally when appropriate. Informal resolutions are designed to provide students with feedback and guidance to improve, rather than imposing punitive measures.
For violations occurring outside of an academic or clinical setting, the Dean of Students will meet with a student when informal resolution is appropriate.
- Reporting Informal Resolutions: Faculty or administrators must report informal resolutions to the academic advisor. Repeated informal violations may result in formal action.
- Documentation: Informal resolutions will not be added to a student’s permanent academic file but will be recorded to track patterns of behavior.
B. Formal Resolutions
Formal resolution is pursued when:
- A pattern of violations exists.
- The breach in conduct is severe.
Formal resolutions will follow the Academic and Disciplinary Action Policy and procedures outlined in the Academic Integrity Policy.
