Misconduct and Infraction Guidelines

San Jac’s  Testing Centers have a responsibility to address any infractions that may occur. Coursework tests are administered under policy, rules and guidelines set forth by the San Jac Student Handbook, as detailed per Procedure V.5001.B.a. 

Testing Center staff will stop a test for anyone who commits an alleged testing infraction. After correcting the alleged infraction and collecting any unauthorized aids, staff will allow the student to resume if the alleged infraction is minor. However, if the alleged infraction is major, staff will end the exam and dismiss the examinee from the Testing Center. Many minor alleged infractions may also result in staff not allowing the examinee to finish the test.

Currently defined major infractions include, but are not limited to:

• Cheating: Using unauthorized testing aids, conspiring with an individual and impersonating or having someone impersonate the examinee during a test. 
• Bribery: Offering or accepting money or other compensation in exchange for test help or other benefit. 
• Theft: Removing or attempting to remove test material or other materials from the Testing Center. 
• Disruption or violence: Acting in a manner that causes a disruption to other examinees or threat to any individual.

Currently defined minor infractions include, but are not limited to:

• General non-compliance: Failing to follow staff instructions and/or testing guidelines on test materials, breaks, etc.

Other actions and behaviors not defined here may be deemed as a major or minor infraction at the Testing Center's discretion. 

Staff will complete a Notice of Testing Infraction form detailing the incident and submit the form and all collected materials to their Testing Coordinator. This will be reviewed in collaboration with the Dean of Student Records and College Registrar, as well as the Dean of Student Development and instructor. 

The appropriate instructional leader and/or instructor, or designee, will determine the appropriate disciplinary action.
