What MSU's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

At the Academic Appeals Hearing: "The student and the instructor may be accompanied by an advisor selected from among the university's student body, faculty, or staff. The advisor serves only in a support role and may not participate in the direct examination, cross-examination, or arguments during the Hearing." Recording is addressed directly: "All proceedings, except deliberations in executive session, will be recorded." — UAR 145, Student Academic Misconduct (adopted Oct 21, 2022; retrieved Oct 9, 2026).

What follows on the record

"In accordance with Series U0422, State Agency Records Retention Schedule, files documenting Academic Misconduct (Academic Honesty Violation) are maintained permanently in the student's conduct record, unless otherwise specified, and retained in the Office of the Dean of Students." — UAR 145, Appendix B (adopted Oct 21, 2022; retrieved Oct 9, 2026). Transcript notation and disclosure to a party outside the University are not stated in the sources reviewed.

The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution's own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.

UAR 145, "Student Academic Misconduct" (initial adoption October 21, 2022, no revision date displayed; retrieved Oct 9, 2026), sets out a seven-step process beginning with the instructor:

Source: UAR 145 — Student Academic Misconduct. The process runs instructor conference, then department Chair/Associate Dean, with appeal first to the academic Dean and then, on the same four grounds, to the Academic Appeals Committee (9 faculty, 4 students, 2 staff); only that Committee may impose Removal from Course, Probated Academic Suspension, or Academic Suspension, and a student suspended by the Committee may appeal further to the University President. Sanctions otherwise range from an Oral Reprimand through Failure of Course and Program Removal. What these quotations mean for any particular case is for the institution and its process to determine; they are reproduced so you can read the originals in context.

Revision history of this page

2026-10-09 — Page created in an unattended scheduled build pass; not a human review. All quotations retrieved this date from the pages linked beside them; UAR 145 is the only source carrying an on-page date, its own "Initial Adoption: October 21, 2022" line, with no revision date filled in. A named-vendor sweep (Turnitin and its AI-writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) run directly against moreheadstate.edu and moreheadstate.libguides.com returned no AI-writing or plagiarism-detection product; the only "Turnitin" matches were false positives ("turn it in") inside unrelated archived documents in the university's digital-archives subdomain. A category sweep of the AI Task Force page, the library's AI guide, UAR 145, the Eagle Student Handbook's Academic Misconduct page, and the Canvas FAQ hub found nothing further. LMS transition noted, not treated as a finding. MSU is migrating from Blackboard to Canvas, "[b]eginning with the Winter 2026 term"; the Canvas FAQ's full set of question titles was read, and none concerns plagiarism or AI-text detection — only Respondus LockDown Browser/Monitor (exam proctoring) is named. A prior-era "Blackboard" plagiarism-detection reference located only in a 2010s internal thesis in the university's digital archives was not used, as it is not a current first-party institutional statement. Ombuds search. Searches for "ombuds" and "student advocacy" surfaced only a c. 2012 internal Staff Congress/Executive Council discussion about possibly creating an Ombuds office, never confirmed elsewhere as having resulted in a current office, and unrelated SGA/Residence Hall Association "student advocacy" committee language; neither was treated as evidence of a present-day ombuds or advocacy office. Record question. UAR 145 states permanent retention of the misconduct file in the Dean of Students' office under a cited state records-retention schedule; it does not mention a transcript notation or a disclosure rule for a party outside the University, recorded as not stated rather than assumed.
