IV. PROCEDURES: HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS - Continued

I. EFFECT OF GUILTY VERDICTS

1. If a guilty verdict is rendered, the student's status becomes that of a "dismissed student," immediately upon the rendering of such verdict, the Committee will notify the Registrar of the guilty verdict. In all cases (including cases in which an Expedited Appeal, the date of dismissal shall be the date on which the guilty verdict was rendered. In addition:

a. Upon conviction, the Committee will request that the Registrar or that office's designee place a notation on the transcript of the dismissed student reading "Enrollment Contingent Upon Appeal of Honor Conviction," which notation will remain until the expiration of the period provided for requesting an Expedited Appeal (see Section J.1.d, below). Immediately upon the expiration of such period, unless the dismissed student has elected to file an Expedited Appeal, the Committee will take the following steps to enforce the sanction of permanent expulsion:

i. request that the Registrar remove the dismissed student from active class rolls and forever bar his readmission to the University; and

ii. request that the Registrar place a notation on the transcript of the dismissed student reading "Enrollment Discontinued"; and

iii. if applicable, initiate degree revocation proceedings with the General Faculty.

b. If the dismissed student elects to file an Expedited Appeal, the notation reading "Enrollment Contingent Upon Appeal of Honor Conviction" will remain on such student's transcript until the conclusion of the Expedited Appeal process. At the time of such conclusion, unless the Expedited Appeal results in the granting of a new trial or the dismissal of the honor charges, the Committee will take the steps described in clauses a.i, a.ii, and a.iii, above. If the dismissed student electing to file an Expedited Appeal is a degree candidate (i.e., the student is in the middle of his or her last semester prior to graduation from the University), and if such Expedited Appeal has not been concluded at the time of graduation, the Committee will request that the Registrar hold such student's degree until the conclusion of the Expedited Appeal process.

2. Whether or not the dismissed student elects to file an Expedited Appeal , if (i) a new trial is granted, or (ii) the honor charges are dismissed, the Committee will request that the Registrar remove the transcript notations referred to in Subparagraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii), above, from the student's transcript in their entirety.
