Academic Misconduct Policies and Process
Copying off of someone's test, plagiarism, claiming credit for work, and all other forms of academic misconduct are not tolerated at UW-Stevens Point. If a student is confused about what exactly academic misconduct is, there is information available regarding rules and procedures for the process. Students can also visit with their faculty or learn how to cite the work of others at the Writing Lab.
Behavioral Misconduct Policies and Process
Every community has guidelines for acceptable behavior, and so do we. If a student appears to have violated a policy on campus or in the community, the student conduct process is an integral part of the educational mission of the university.

Medical Amnesty Policy
Your safety, and everyone's safety, is our first priority. Call for help and get the support you or a friend might need.
Notifying Parents
UW- Stevens Point honors each student’s right to privacy on behavioral matters. There are several notable exceptions to this policy, however. The university may choose to contact a parent or guardian:
When a student’s repeated abuse of chemicals is jeopardizing their own health or that of others.
When repeated efforts to gain compliance with university alcohol, drug and other behavioral policies have failed and the student’s status with the university is in question.
When a student’s physical or emotional health has become threatened or has become potentially dangerous to others, and/or when the university feels the student may be incapable of making safe healthy decisions for themselves.
