Process Overview

The Committee on Discipline (COD) receives and acts on three types of complaints: academic misconduct, personal/general misconduct, and sexual misconduct.  There is a procedure to respond to each case that recognizes the elements unique to each type of case.  The procedures for responding to all three types of complaints are described in detail in the COD RulesThis link opens in a new window. Learn more about the academic integrity process. The OSCCS has developed a series of one-page flyers that explain common COD processes that you may find helpful - you can find them below:
