Resolving Violations . A reported violation will be investigated by an assigned counselor from the Honor Code Office, and every attempt will be made to resolve the situation at that level. Lesser offenses, such as violations of dress and grooming standards and campus policies, will be resolved by the Case Review Committee. A student may not be dismissed because of a lesser offense, although repeated lesser offenses can become greater offenses. Greater offenses, such as drugs, morality, dishonesty shall be resolved by the Honor Council.
Greater offenses can result in suspension or dismissal.
Rights and Appeals . Students have the right to appeal greater sanctions given by the Honor Council. The Honor Code Advisory Council hears all appeals for the College. Further Information . Students may obtain more detailed information about the Honor Code System by contacting the Honor Code Office or the Student Honor Association, a branch of the Student Association of Southern Virginia College devoted to encouraging student compliance with the honor code.
