Remediation

Following the imposition of any sanction, the student will begin a Remediation Program.

1. A contract will be signed by the student which requires a Remediation Program to be completed within a month of the date of the initiation of the contract. If the sanction is imposed late in a semester, the president of the Honor Council will determine a reasonable time for its completion at the beginning of the next semester. If the student does not complete the program as agreed, he or she will not be able to register for the following semester, not including summer, effectively accepting a suspension for a semester. It will be the student's responsibility to make and keep all appointments named in the contract and complete the program within the specified period.
   
   
2. The student must make and keep appointments in person to meet with the following groups or members of the college community: the Academic Council or a member or members of the Council designated by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean; a member of the Honor Council designated by the president of the Honor Council; in a grade-related offense, the member or members of the faculty involved; the President of the College. In each of these discussions the student should be prepared to explain his or her violation, discuss its impact both personally and on the college community, and hear what others' thoughts and concerns may be about the violation. A minimum of thirty minutes is suggested for each meeting.
   
   
3. The student must conclude by writing a five-to ten-page typed paper reflecting on the experience of the violation and what he or she may have learned in the process of the meetings. These papers, rendered anonymous, will be made available for the Honor Council to use at its discretion in its efforts to educate the student body regarding academic integrity. When the paper has been submitted and read by the Honor Council, the final step in satisfying the Remediation Program will be a meeting with the Honor Council. This is an opportunity for members of the Council to ask questions of the student about the process and outcome.
