Accordingly, qualified persons with disabilities cannot, on the basis of disability, be denied admission or subjected to discrimination in admission decisions. Further, no qualified disabled student may be excluded from any academic, research, counseling, financial aid, or other post -secondary education program or activity that the University provides to all students on the basis of that student's disability. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner that reflects generally accepted moral standards, honor, and good citizenship. They are also expected to abide by the regulations of the University. It is the student's responsibility to maintain academic honesty and integrity and to manifest a commitment to the goals of the University through proper conduct and behavior. Any form of academic dishonesty, or inappropriate conduct by students or applicants, may result in penalties ranging from a warning to dismissal as deemed by CSTU. Any such disciplinary action will be taken following the procedures of due process. Due process mandates that students be given notice and an opportunity to be heard, that is, informed in writing of the nature of the charges against them and provided with an administrative hearing on the issues and provisions for appeal.
