VI. Standard of Due Process A. Initial Inquiry 1. The Provost may refer the case to one of the following administrators to handle the initial inquiry: the University Registrar and Vice Provost, Student Affairs for UMUC-Stateside students; the Vice President, UMUC-Asia for UMUC-Asia students; Vice President, Appendices UMUC-Europe for UMUC-Europe students (known hereafter as the “administrator”). 2. The focus of this inquiry shall be the guilt or innocence of those accused of violating this Code. Upon receipt of the referral, the administrator will immediately inform the person accused, in writing, of the alleged Code of Conduct violation. Within 30 calendar days of receipt of the referral, the administrator will conduct a preliminary administrative inquiry, which can be staffed by the administrator’s designee(s). The administrator or administrator’s designee must consult the central records file in the Office of the Provost to determine if the student has a previous record of violations of this Code. All material reviewed will be considered confidential and shared only with those with a need to know. The administrator or designee(s) may communicate with the person accused and give him or her the opportunity to present any relevant evidence. Upon request, the person accused may see the information submitted against him or her relating to the alleged violation of this Code. However, the person accused will not have the right to see any information that violates the privacy rights of other students. 3. The administrator will dismiss the referral if: a. The complainant has failed to comply with procedure; b. The allegations, even if true, do not constitute violation of this Code; or c. There is no evidence of violation of this Code based upon the inquiry conducted by the administrator or designee(s). 4. The complainant and the person accused will be notified of the decision in writing within 40 calendar days of the referral. See Section VI.C. for Appeals. B. Investigation Committee 1.

The administrator or designee(s) will instruct this Investigation Committee to review the materials obtained during the inquiry conducted by the administrator or designee(s). 2. The Investigation Committee will hold a factfinding conference or conduct an investigation in conjunction with the administrator or designee(s) to obtain additional information.
