What Troy's own Student Honor Code says about how cases proceed

Who may be present

Not stated in the sources reviewed. Neither the Academic Code's own hearing procedure (Policy 403, Student Honor Code) nor the general Standards of Conduct disciplinary procedure elsewhere in the same handbook addresses whether a student may bring a support person, adviser, or observer, or whether a hearing may be recorded · Oracle 2024–2025 Student Handbook (PDF)

What follows on the record

Not stated in the sources reviewed. The Academic Code's own penalties — a course-grade reduction, or being "suspended from the University for a specific or an indefinite period" — do not mention a transcript notation, retention period, or disclosure rule; the handbook's general sanctions section states only that "For violations of academic integrity, appropriate academic penalties may also be applied," without further detail · Oracle 2024–2025 Student Handbook (PDF)

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

From the Student Honor Code's Academic Code, in the current student handbook (Oracle 2024–2025 Student Handbook, pp. 75–76; also codified at troy.edu/epolicy/400-students.html; both retrieved Sep 27, 2026):

Source: Oracle 2024–2025 Student Handbook (PDF). No evidentiary standard (such as a preponderance-of-the-evidence rule) is stated anywhere in this procedure. DIVERGENCE, reproduced rather than resolved: the parallel codification at troy.edu/epolicy/400-students.html names the reviewing body the "Student Services Committee" and the intake official the "Student Services Judicial Officer" for the same two clauses that the 2024–2025 Oracle names the "Student Services Conduct Board" and "Student Services Conduct Officer." Troy's general Standards of Conduct disciplinary procedure, which governs non-academic misconduct elsewhere in the same handbook, separately publishes a five-day appeal window to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Student Services and Administration whose decision "is final and there is no further appeal" — that provision is not stated to apply to the Academic Code procedure above, so it is not carried into this page's docket. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine; these are reproduced so you can read the originals in context.

Revision history of this page

2026-09-27 — Page created by a scheduled, unattended build pass. All quotations retrieved this date from troy.edu, helpdesk.troy.edu and it.troy.edu pages linked beside them, and from the Oracle 2024–2025 Student Handbook (PDF; the most current edition found live on troy.edu at build time — no 2025–2026 or 2026–2027 edition was located). Detection-inventory sweep performed: named-vendor sweep (Turnitin, Turnitin AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and category sweep (IT Helpdesk knowledge base, the Generative AI at Troy University hub, the AI Forward Initiative page, and the current Student Honor Code) both came back empty of any AI-text detector; Turnitin's Canvas integration is confirmed for assignment submission generally, with no first-party statement distinguishing similarity checking from an AI-writing indicator. NOT DISQUALIFIED: this is an empty inventory without any first-party statement declining, disabling, or recommending against AI detection (contrast the University of Maryland-Baltimore County exclusion earlier in this queue, where DoIT states outright, "UMBC does not license any AI detection tools at this time") — Troy's pages are simply silent on AI-writing detection, the thin-publication pattern rather than a considered position, so the page proceeds with the absence stated as the finding. PROCESS SOURCE: the Academic Code hearing procedure (Policy 403 / Student Honor Code) was captured from the 2024–2025 Oracle Student Handbook and cross-checked against the parallel codification at troy.edu/epolicy/400-students.html. DIVERGENCE reproduced, not resolved: the Oracle names "Student Services Conduct Board" and "Student Services Conduct Officer" where the epolicy page names "Student Services Committee" and "Student Services Judicial Officer" for the same two clauses. SUBSTANTIVE ABSENCE: the Academic Code procedure states no evidentiary standard, no accompaniment or recording provision, no transcript-notation or record-retention rule, and no appeal stage of its own; Troy's general Standards of Conduct disciplinary procedure (same handbook) does publish a five-day appeal window to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Student Services and Administration with a final, unappealable decision, but that procedure is not stated to govern the Academic Code process and was therefore not carried into the docket. OFFICE: no dedicated phone or email is published for the Senior Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs / academic-misconduct matters on the office's own pages (troy.edu/about-us/leadership/student-affairs/ and troy.edu/about-us/leadership/student-services-administration/index.html); both list only the university's general call-center number, confirmed separately on troy.edu/call-center/index.html to be an admissions/registration/billing line rather than this office's own number, so it is not presented here as a dedicated line. OMBUDS: search for "ombudsman," "ombudsperson," and "student advocacy" on troy.edu returned no dedicated office; none is presented. PDF EXTRACTION NOTE: the Oracle PDF's layout-mode text extraction duplicates portions of the Academic Code section, an artifact of the source file's own tagging; every quotation above was verified against a raw-mode extraction, which reproduces each passage once, correctly punctuated. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Subreddit demand scan not run (outside this run's research method). Internet Archive captures: to be added. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-27).
