What the Manual of Policies and Procedures says about how cases proceed

Who may be present

A respondent has the right "to be assisted by an adviser at the hearing," but the adviser "shall not be permitted to question witnesses, introduce evidence, make objections, or present arguments to the hearing officer." "The hearing will be recorded," and on appeal "the official record will consist of the recording of the hearing." — Manual of Policies and Procedures for Student Affairs, Chapter 8, §§8-403(c), 8-406(d) (Revised 3/2025; retrieved Oct 12, 2026)

What follows on the record

Suspension "is noted on the academic transcript with the term 'Disciplinary Suspension.'" The notation is removable once conditions are met. Expulsion "creates a permanent notation on the student's academic transcript." "A record of scholastic dishonesty shall be maintained for at least 5 years," and a permanent written disciplinary record is kept for every student assessed a sanction of "suspension, expulsion, denial or revocation of a degree, and/or withdrawal of a diploma." — Manual of Policies and Procedures for Student Affairs, Chapter 8, §§8-501-502, 8-701 (Revised 3/2025; retrieved Oct 12, 2026)

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

From Chapter 8 of the Manual of Policies and Procedures for Student Affairs (Revised 3/2025; retrieved Oct 12, 2026):

Sanctions range from a written warning through disciplinary probation, suspension, expulsion, and revocation of a degree. Source: Manual of Policies and Procedures for Student Affairs, Chapter 8 — Student Conduct and Discipline (Revised 3/2025). UT Tyler's Office of Student Conduct and Intervention restates the faculty-level process in plainer language on its own page (no on-page date displayed; retrieved Oct 12, 2026): a faculty member who finds "more likely than not" that a student committed scholastic dishonesty may assess an academic penalty directly, or refer the matter to the Office for a formal hearing if the student contests the charge. Source: Staff/Faculty Resources (Conduct). 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

2026-10-12 — Page created. Cold build (no prior CANDIDATES.md/procedure-facts research). 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) found Turnitin's AI writing detection confirmed deployed, first-party, by the Office of Digital Learning's own Faculty Resources page: "UT Tyler utilizes Turnitin, a leading plagiarism prevention platform that compares student work against an extensive database of sources as well as AI writing detection capabilities." SUBSTANTIVE FINDING, NARROWER THAN MOST BUILT PAGES: no caution, reliability warning, or non-sole-evidence rule for that detector was located anywhere on uttyler.edu, including the Office of Digital Learning's Artificial Intelligence hub, its AI Usage Guidelines (Allowable Use, Prohibited Use, Fair & Responsible Use, Important Information, and Enforcement sections all expanded and read directly), and the Manual of Policies and Procedures' Chapter 8. That absence is the finding, stated rather than filled with language borrowed from the pattern other built pages follow. Chapter 8's own "Academic Dishonesty" definition (§8-802, Revised 3/2025) predates explicit AI-specific language: it names cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and falsifying academic records, with no reference to artificial intelligence or generative AI tools anywhere in the definition, in contrast to several other institutions' recently revised policies in this collection. Respondus LockDown Browser/Monitor confirmed separately for exam proctoring (its own dedicated Proctoring Resources page), not text-based AI detection; no Honorlock or Proctorio found. PROCESS: captured from Chapter 8 of the Manual of Policies and Procedures for Student Affairs (Revised 3/2025), a detailed University of Texas System-pattern disciplinary code read in full (892 lines across its 8 pages), cross-checked against the Office of Student Conduct and Intervention's own plain-language restatement of the faculty-level steps; both traced consistently. ACCOMPANIMENT FOUND: adviser right at the hearing, with a strict no-speaking restriction ("shall not be permitted to question witnesses, introduce evidence, make objections, or present arguments to the hearing officer"). RECORDING EXPLICITLY ADDRESSED, UNUSUALLY CLEAR: "The hearing will be recorded," with the recording forming part of the official appeal record — a more direct statement than most built pages' silence on this point. RECORD: transcript notation stated for both suspension ("Disciplinary Suspension") and expulsion (permanent notation); a 5-year minimum retention period for scholastic-dishonesty records and a permanent record for suspension/expulsion/degree sanctions are both stated directly. OFFICE: Office of Student Conduct and Intervention, University Center Suite 3110, 903-565-5946, deanofstudent@uttyler.edu — confirmed on its own Staff/Faculty Resources and Report an Incident pages. OMBUDS: none located — a search for "ombudsperson," "ombudsman," and "student advocate" at uttyler.edu returned nothing. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-12).
