Appeal Process for Academic Dishonesty The student may appeal academic dishonesty penalties to the Academic Affairs Council. The decision of this Council may be appealed to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, whose decision is final. If one of the Council members is the instructor who reported the plagiarism, the Vice President of Academic Affairs will appoint an alternate faculty representative during that particular appeal. If a student is dismissed because of plagiarism, that action will be recorded on the student’s transcript as “Academic Dismissal.” XXIII. STUDENT CLASSIFICATIONS Matriculated Student — a student taking one or more courses (day, evening or weekend, on or off campus) for credit toward a degree, diploma, or certificate. A regular Application for Admission (available from the Admission’s Office) must be submitted to be accepted as a regular matriculated student. A student must be enrolled at matriculated status in order to receive financial aid. Non-Matriculated (Special) Student — a student taking selected courses for academic credit, but not pursuing a degree, diploma, or certificate. Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid and are not eligible for certificate, diploma, or degree programs until the regular admission process has been followed and acceptance into the program is granted. Dual Enrollment (High School) Student – a high school student (not matriculated in a degree program at Davis College) who is enrolled in high school while simultaneously enrolled in degree-credit coursework through Davis College. Dual enrollment students may enroll in up to 12 credits per semester during their junior and senior years of high school enrollment for a maximum of 48 completed credits before high school graduation provided they meet admission requirements (see Admissions). Dual enrollment students may register for Davis College summer courses during the summer after their junior year of high school; they may also register for Davis College summer courses during the summer after their senior year of high school if the Davis College summer course begins before their anticipated date of high school graduation (i.e., if a Davis College summer course begins on June 5, the student may continue at the dual enrollment student classification if the anticipated date of high school graduation is June 23). Auditing Individual (Non-Credit) — an individual attending courses (but not for credit) is not required to take examinations or complete other course assignments. Audit courses appear on the transcript with a grade of “AU.” An individual auditing a class who decides to change his or her student classification so as to receive college credit must follow and complete the current admissions process before the final day to add a class. Auditing individuals may be required to pay a comprehensive fee and may receive a Davis College issued email account. Full-Time Student — a student enrolled for 12 or more credit hours per semester. Three-Quarter Time Student — a student enrolled for 9 to 11 credit hours per semester (part-time student). Half-Time Student — a student enrolled for 6 to 8 credit hours per semester (part-time student). Less than Half-Time Student — one enrolled for 1 to 5 credit hours per semester (part-time student). First-Time Student — a student who has not attended any other colleges prior to his or her first semester at Davis. Continuing Student — a student enrolled at Davis the previous semester but not including summer (Fall or Spring). Readmitted Student — a student previously enrolled at Davis but not the previous semester. Class Standing is based upon the number of semester hours successfully completed toward a program. Class Year Calculations – a student’s class year is calculated by the credit hours completed toward his or her certificate or degree from prior semesters. This calculation includes any transfer or life experience credit applied toward the certificate or degree that the student is pursuing.
