Any student suspected or apprehended in the commitment of an offense shall be given the opportunity to explain the incident and, if desired, to meet with department heads, a Student Affairs Officer, or other appropriate person, before the alleged offense is reported to the Appeals and Disciplinary Committee.
An alleged instance of student misconduct deemed serious enough for action by the Institute shall be referred to the Appeals and Disciplinary Committee. After an investigation and hearing at which the student is invited to appear, the committee reports its decision to the Dean of Faculty. If the student wishes, the student then has the opportunity to meet with the Dean of Faculty to appeal the decision.
