At UJ the unit responsible for student discipline is referred to as Student Ethics and Judicial Services (SE&JS).
This unit fosters an ethical and value-based culture among students but its primary task is to deal with the administration of student discipline.
All students who are registered at the University of Johannesburg are subject to general student rules. These rules are contained in the Student Regulations. If a student transgresses a rule of the Student Regulations a disciplinary process is followed as described in the Regulations for Student Discipline.
This process is briefly as follows:
o A complaint is lodged with the SE&JS unit.
o The complaint is investigated.
o If the investigation indicates that there is sufficient evidence, the student is charged to appear before the Student Disciplinary Committee.
o The Student Disciplinary Committee considers all the evidence pertaining to the transgression and offers the charged student an opportunity to state his/her case before it makes a finding.
Students should take special notice of the importance with which the University regards academic integrity. A student who is found guilty of a transgression relating to academic dishonesty (for example possessing notes during a test or examination or plagiarising an assignment) may face a penalty that ranges from cancellation of the module in which the transgression was committed to permanent expulsion from the University.
