What UH Mānoa's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

"If a student so chooses, he/she may have a silent support person present during the meeting or ask this person to wait outside in the waiting room. This individual may be a parent, friend, or advisor, but not an attorney. This person may take notes for the student or assist him/her in organizing documents, but may not speak on the student's behalf or interfere with the process in any manner." Recording of this investigatory meeting is not addressed; only a Student Conduct Appellate Board hearing is stated to be recorded ("All appellate hearings are audio-recorded, excluding deliberations, and conducted in private"). — Office of Student Conduct FAQs (page undated; retrieved Sep 3, 2026) · Office of Student Conduct: FAQs

What follows on the record

"A student's disciplinary information, if any, and academic information are maintained as two separate records at the University. Any disciplinary sanctions that have been imposed upon a student will not be made a part of his/her academic record; rather, a disciplinary record will be established for the student. Disciplinary records are retained by the Office of Student Conduct for a minimum of seven years from the date of the final disposition of the case." The Mānoa procedures add that records for residence-hall expulsion, suspension, dismissal, or degree revocation "shall be permanently retained." — same source, same retrieval; procedures page dated April 2019 · Student Conduct Code: Procedures

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

Mānoa's Student Conduct Code Procedures (University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, dated April 2019; retrieved Sep 3, 2026) describe academic dishonesty as handled first at the instructor level, with formal referral as an option rather than a requirement:

Where a case is referred, the same document sets a reporting window and a notification step, and states the standard used to decide it — "more likely than not," the ordinary preponderance standard, without using that word:

Sanctions range across eleven named categories — written reprimand, probation, loss of privileges, restitution, no-contact orders, other assigned work, suspension, dismissal, revocation or withholding of a degree, and organization-level sanctions for a Registered Independent Organization — listed in full in the same Procedures document. Appeal is time-limited and grounds-limited: "The student may submit an appeal in writing to the Student Conduct Administrator or designee within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the written decision," on one or more of three stated grounds — new information, procedural error, or a dispute over whether the facts found support the violation. A right to remain silent is not named anywhere in the sources reviewed; the rights stated are to respond to the allegations and to bring a witness's written statement, not to decline to respond. Disclosure of a finding to a graduate program, employer, or licensing board, beyond the transcript-versus-disciplinary-record separation already quoted above, was searched for and not found in any source reviewed — recorded here as not stated, not asserted either way. Sources: Student Conduct Code: Procedures and Office of Student Conduct: FAQs. What any of this means for a 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

2026-09-03 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date by direct fetch and, for pages that required rendered content, by browser read of the live DOM — both are first-party captures, not paraphrase-pending. Source page dates, where shown: the Student Conduct Code's Policies page (Effective Date June 23, 2025, as presented by Mānoa Student Success); its Procedures page ("University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa April 2019"); the UH System's Lamakū migration announcement (Apr 30, 2026); UH West Oʻahu's Turnitin Clarity library post (Aug 18, 2026); the UH System's Honorlock announcement (Aug 3, 2026). The Office of Student Conduct's landing page, FAQs, Mānoa's OVPAE Guidance on AI, the UH System ITS AI page, the UH Online Innovation Center's AI Recommendations page, and the Graduate Division's Thesis & Dissertation and Style Policy pages carry no on-page date. Detection sweep: a named-vendor sweep across manoa.hawaii.edu and hawaii.edu (Turnitin's own product names, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) plus a category sweep (the LMS — Lamakū, replacing Laulima — the graduate thesis/dissertation pipeline, the proctoring/exam-integrity stack, UH System and UH Online AI-guidance pages, Mānoa's own OVPAE guidance, and the Student Conduct Code's own text). Findings: Turnitin Similarity and Turnitin Clarity are confirmed embedded in Lamakū at the platform level, and confirmed subscribed-to at UH West Oʻahu specifically by that campus's own library page — but no manoa.hawaii.edu page in this sweep states that Mānoa itself has activated either product, so Mānoa-specific Turnitin deployment is recorded as an absence at the scope searched, not as a negative finding about the platform generally. Honorlock is confirmed deployed system-wide, including at UH Mānoa, for AI-driven exam-behavior proctoring (webcam/microphone/screen monitoring for talking, gaze, search-engine use, unauthorized devices) — explicitly not a text-writing detector, and described as such rather than folded into the detector count. No other named AI-text detector was found anywhere in either sweep. EP 7.208 provenance note: the UH policy office's own copy of Executive Policy 7.208, fetched directly at hawaii.edu/policy/ep7.208, displayed an Effective Date of March 2019 and a plagiarism definition without the AI-technology clause; Mānoa's own Student Success page presents the same EP 7.208 number with an Effective Date of June 23, 2025 and the AI clause included. Both copies are retained in the source map rather than reconciled; this page does not determine which one a given case would be measured against. OMBUDS ROW: UH Mānoa opened an Ombudsman's Office in Fall 2006, documented at the time in UH News archives; its own page (manoa.hawaii.edu/ombuds/) returned an HTTP 404 on this date, it is absent from Mānoa's current "Contact Us" directory, and it does not appear among Mānoa CARES' current advocacy listings. A "Conflict and Peace Specialist" (CAPS) role, described in search results and a since-filled job posting as a neutral, private, independent campus-wide resource, was searched for directly: its dedicated pages (manoa.hawaii.edu/peacebuilding/ and subpages) also returned HTTP 404 on this date, and CAPS does not appear among Mānoa CARES' current live listing, which as fetched this date names only a Civil Rights Specialist and the Mānoa Advocate — both scoped by their own pages to Title IX and sex-based matters, not academic integrity or conduct generally. The John A. Burns School of Medicine's Ombudsman was located and excluded: its own pages scope it to that school's faculty and staff. No general-purpose, university-wide student ombuds or advocacy office was located as currently operating. RIGHT TO SILENCE: not named anywhere reviewed. EVIDENTIARY STANDARD: "more likely than not" is stated for the Student Conduct Administrator's determination; the Systemwide policy separately states that "the technical rules of evidence applicable to civil and criminal cases shall not apply" at a Student Conduct Board Hearing. DISCLOSURE: disclosure of a finding to a graduate program, employer, or licensing board, beyond the transcript/disciplinary-record separation quoted in section 02, was searched for and not found — recorded as not stated in the sources reviewed. Nothing on this page is paraphrase-pending. Internet Archive captures: to be added. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-04).

2026-09-13 — Editorial review. Carrie Schluter read this page in full against its recorded first-party sources and found no change required. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-13).
