Reporting Procedure for Ethical and Honor Code Violations

A case of a suspected violation or an unresolved situation may be brought to the ADSAA through self-reporting or by the observer of a violation, at which point the case proceeds to an investigation if warranted and, potentially, a subsequent hearing for resolution. Reporting violations should be accomplished by submitting the appropriate Ethics and Honor Code Violation form available in the CVM Student Services Canvas Organization. After submission of a signed complaint, the involved parties will be notified within 5 working days of Misconduct Allegation and informed of a preliminary meeting date, time, and location with the ADSAA. If the complaint is anonymous and unsigned, an investigation of the allegations shall be conducted by the ADSAA or the ADSAA's designee. Based on the findings of the investigation, further action may be taken by the ADSAA through a preliminary meeting. If the preliminary investigation determines that no violation occurred, the matter is considered resolved. Records will be placed in a confidential file and destroyed upon the student’s graduation.

Records are to be kept at each level of the process. All records will be kept on file that is maintained by the ADSAA.
