What Stockton's Student Academic Honesty procedure says about how cases proceed

Who may be present

"If an attorney or other individual acting as counsel representing either of the involved parties chooses to be present at the hearing, he/she may not address the Board or respond in any way to anyone but his/her client." Recording is addressed directly: "testimony of both the student and the faculty member will be recorded at the hearing." — Student Academic Honesty, Procedure 2005 (Effective Dates through June 4, 2017) · 2005: Student Academic Honesty

What follows on the record

"It is possible that a first or second offense may carry a sanction of suspension or expulsion, which will be recorded on the student's academic transcript, marking a permanent record of the offense." Where a charge is uncontested and not repeated, "this charge of dishonesty shall be removed from the student's permanent file upon the student's graduation." — Procedure 2005 · 2005: Student Academic Honesty

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

From Procedure 2005, Student Academic Honesty (Procedure Administrator: Provost; Effective Dates October 1, 1990 through June 4, 2017; retrieved Oct 10, 2026), on how a faculty member brings a charge:

Personal corroboration may include "[s]earches of materials such as books, magazines, or blog posts to detect originality of the submitted work" or "[u]se of other electronic tools to detect plagiarism" — generic categories, naming no specific product. A student has "a maximum of ten (10) business days" to appeal; an appeal "will result in an Academic Honesty Appeals Board hearing," composed of faculty and students, which decides by majority vote and sends a written recommendation to the Provost "within three (3) business days of the hearing." "The recommendation of the Academic Honesty Appeals Board is forwarded to the Provost, who makes the final decision. At this point, the case generally is resolved within thirty (30) days or less." No evidentiary standard (such as "preponderance") is named anywhere in the procedure; the Board "determines whether or not to find the student responsible... based upon all of the evidence presented."

Revision history of this page

2026-10-10 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the stockton.edu and policiesandprocedures.catalog.stockton.edu pages linked beside them; Procedure 2005 carries its own "Effective Date: October 1, 1990; July 1, 2010; June 5, 2014; May 7, 2015; June 4, 2017," and the CTLD Instructional Tools page displays no on-page date. Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin, Turnitin AI writing indicator, SafeAssign, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) confirmed Turnitin's own discontinuation date (June 30, 2024) and SafeAssign as the current plagiarism tool; ZeroGPT and GPTZero are named only as third-party web tools explicitly "not available in Blackboard." Category sweep covered the Richard E. Bjork Library's Citation Tools and GenAI guide pages (named-vendor-swept; not independently read in full this pass — paraphrase-pending) and a search for "ombuds"/"student advocate"/"student advocacy," which returned nothing. The Stockton University Academic Bulletin's section on graduate Academic Integrity Committees (Step 5a of Procedure 2005) was located but not independently fetched this pass; nothing on this page relies on it. Nothing else paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-10).
