In summary, the conduct process for students is as follows:

1)     A report or complaint is made to the Student Conduct & Academic Integrity Programs(SCAIP)

2)     SCAIP assesses if student(s) may have violated University conduct policies

3)     Student(s) involved in alleged violation(s) are sent notifications to meet with a SCAIP staff member  (Please note: It is the student’s responsibility to regularly check his/her mail and respond to University notices appropriately. UC Riverside expects all students to maintain a current local and permanent address. Addresses may be updated with the Registrar or on their GROWL account.)

4)     SCAIP meets with involved student(s)

5)     SCAIP determines if a student more likely that not violated University policies.  If the alleged violation(s) are egregious or a repetitive in nature, the case will be referred to either the Student Conduct Committee (social violations) or College Academic Integrity Committee (academic violations) for review.

6)     If the student is found “responsible” for violating University policies, s/he will be assigned appropriate sanctions.

7)     Student may only appeal decision made by SCAIP or Committee, under the following grounds:

a.      newly discovered evidence that was not available at the time of the hearing,

b.     significant procedural error, or

c.      upon other evidence or arguments, which, for good cause, should be considered
