ECPI University encourages professionalism and responsible conduct among students to foster a positive learning environment. To address any issues, the university follows a progressive discipline approach, which typically includes a verbal warning, a written warning, and, if necessary, dismissal. However, based on the specific circumstances—such as the student's overall history, the severity of the behavior, safety concerns, and the details of the incident—ECPI University reserves the right to modify or bypass the progressive discipline process. Disciplinary action may be taken against a student for the following behaviors, as well as for other actions not specifically listed here:

  • Acts of dishonesty, including but not limited to cheating on quizzes, tests, papers, hands-on homework documentation, or other assignments; or plagiarism. See the Honor Code and Plagiarism Policy.
