What the state administrative code and UW-Platteville's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

At a hearing before the academic misconduct hearing committee, the student has "the right to present evidence and witnesses, and to be heard in his or her own behalf, and the right to be accompanied by a representative of his or her choice." The hearing committee "shall make a record of the hearing," including "a verbatim record of the testimony, which may be a sound recording." Source: Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter UWS 14, ss. 14.08(3)(a) and (c) (retrieved Oct 18, 2026).

What follows on the record

No transcript notation and no records-retention period is stated in UWS 14 itself. What is stated: a lesser, instructor-level "written reprimand presented only to the student" is not filed, while a more serious "written reprimand" imposed after an investigating officer's finding is added to the student's disciplinary file, as UWS 14 defines that term. "Suspension or expulsion shall be systemwide in effect" across the Universities of Wisconsin, and a suspended or expelled student may not enroll elsewhere in the system until the suspension expires or a year has passed. Source: UWS 14, ss. 14.04(1)(b), (h) and 14.12.

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

UWS 14 itself states the standard of proof:

UW-Platteville's own catalog names which office handles each stage: "Instances of student misconduct may be adjudicated through the Dean of Students Office, or in instances of academic misconduct, a faculty member. Students may appeal decisions to a Student Misconduct Hearing Committee. In some instances, these decisions may be appealed to the Chancellor." The Dean of Students Office states it is "guided in this responsibility by Chapters 14" and, further in the same sentence, "of the Wisconsin Administrative Code and by those regulations specific to UW- Platteville."

Revision history of this page

2026-10-18 — Page created. Priority A tranche 4, entry 275. Cold build (scheduled, unattended); no prior CANDIDATES.md/procedure-facts.json research to reuse, though the process section reuses Wisconsin Administrative Code Chapter UWS 14 quotations and citations already established at the first UW System build (entry 185, uwgb, 2026-09-30) and refreshed at later UW System builds (uwsp, 2026-10-12), per QUEUE.md's standing note that UWS 14 is systemwide and need not be re-derived per campus. UWS 14 was re-fetched and re-verified for this page rather than copied from another page's packet. UW System campus; Madison and Milwaukee are Excluded campus by campus and no UW-System-wide AI-detection policy exists (answered at entry 185), so this campus's own AI guidance was checked independently. All quotations retrieved this date. Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin and its AI writing detector specifically, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity), across the ITS help-desk knowledge base and uwplatt.edu, found only Turnitin, confirmed first-party via two knowledge-base articles, one stating "you use the Turnitin website to obtain a similarity report" and the other listing Canvas integration options, with no AI-writing feature named on either. CATEGORY SWEEP: a knowledge-base search for "AI detection" surfaced the campus's "Guide to Artificial Intelligence (AI)" article, which states its own purpose is general AI-safety guidance and that it "is not intended to define acceptable use of AI in any academic endeavor"; it names no detection tool. DETECTOR RELIANCE: moot — no detector documented, so no weight statement or process-based verification method applies. DISQUALIFICATION CHECK: nothing swept recommends against AI detection or states one has been disabled; this is an empty inventory, not disqualified. PROCESS, FROM UWS 14 AND THE UNDERGRADUATE CATALOG: the catalog states that "[i]nstances of student misconduct may be adjudicated through the Dean of Students Office, or in instances of academic misconduct, a faculty member," with appeal to a Student Misconduct Hearing Committee and, in some instances, the Chancellor; UWS 14 itself supplies the standard of proof (preponderance of the credible evidence generally; clear and convincing evidence for suspension or expulsion), the instructor's notice-and-discussion obligation, hearing-committee accompaniment and recording rules, and the systemwide effect of a suspension or expulsion. RECORDS: no transcript notation or retention period is stated in UWS 14 itself; a lesser instructor-level written reprimand is not filed, while one imposed after an investigating officer's finding is added to the disciplinary file as UWS 14 defines it. OFFICE: Dean of Students Office, 1 University Plaza, 1300 Ullsvik Hall, Platteville, WI 53818, 608-342-1854, deanofstudents@uwplatt.edu, confirmed on the office's own conduct page. OMBUDS: searched uwplatt.edu and the catalog for "ombuds," "ombudsperson," and "student advocate"; found no dedicated office independent of the Dean of Students Office, which itself administers the conduct process described above. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending — not requested this pass (unattended scheduled run). Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-10-18).
