The Stratford University Language Institute English as a Second Language Program is accredited by the Commission on English Language Program Accreditation for the period August 2016 through August 2017 and agrees to uphold the CEA Standards for English Language Programs and Institutions. CEA is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a nationally recognized accrediting agency for English language programs and institutions in the U.S. For further information about this accreditation, please contact CEA, 1001 N. Fairfax Street, Suite 630, Alexandria, VA 22314, (703} 665-3400, www.ceaaccredit.org. Update Legal Control to read: Frank Turnage, Chairman of the Board Richard Shurtz, Secretary to the Board Richard Anderson Veer V. Bhartiya Dr. Michael Hillyard Tariq Khan Ed Meehan Craig Quigley Mary Ann Shurtz Daniel Woodley Update the Honor Code section to read: First Violation A faculty member who believes a violation has occurred must contact the designated department representative to determine whether a prior violation was committed by the student. If the alleged violation of the Honor Code is a first violation, it may be resolved through a faculty-student joint conference or by requesting an Academic Integrity Review to determine the accuracy of the allegations and assign appropriate penalties, if warranted. The joint conference is to be held at a time acceptable to both parties. The faculty member informs the student of the details of the suspected violation and the reasons for believing it has occurred. The faculty member is under no obligation to disclose third-party individuals at this time. The minimum penalty for a first violation may be failure of the assignment and the maximum is failure of the course. The faculty works alongside the student to make this a learning opportunity. The student learns why their work is considered plagiarized and how to tie to other work or paraphrase. The assignment is returned, retaken, or a zero is given on the assignment. The faculty denotes the incident in the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record. The minimum penalty for a first violation may be failure of the assignment and required completion of anti-plagiarism training. Second Violation If a student has been found to have committed an Honor Code violation at any time during enrollment at the University, any subsequent violation is considered as a second violation. Thus, a violation committed by a graduate student who also committed a violation as a Stratford undergraduate would be classified as a second violation. If the alleged violation of the Honor Code is a second violation, a joint conference may be held to determine whether the allegation has merit. An Academic Integrity Review by the campus dean is conducted regarding all alleged second violations in addition to or in replace of the joint conference. All proven second violations of the Honor Code result in failure of the course and dismissal for the term. These decisions must be approved by the campus director and dean. Only these individuals may recommend alternative actions. A second issue with plagiarism results in a more in depth learning session held with the faculty, student, and campus librarian. Students may be required to repeat the online modules on avoiding plagiarism and APA.

Third Violation The campus dean and designated program representative are notified and the offense is noted in the student’s record. A student accused of an Honor Code violation may withdraw from the course in which the offense is alleged to have occurred only if the proposed penalty is less severe than failure of the course, dismissal for the term, or from the University. In all other situations, the student cannot withdraw. A record of a proven violation is kept even if a student is able to withdraw. Update the Standard Term of Non-Attendance section to read: As such, students are not required to repeat the admissions process; if a student does not return in the subsequent term, the last date of attendance marks the start of the non-enrolled period.
