The Rector may give the student a written warning, propose to the Board that the student be temporarily suspended, or establish that no infringement has occurred in the matter. A decision made in the matter by the Rector or the Board will be communicated to the student, the teacher, the Dean or the Director of the independent institute or service centre concerned, and the Student and Learning Services of the faculties and independent institutes and service centres for information and for further measures, if any.
A decision on a serious infringement (a written warning and fixed-term suspension) may be appealed against by lodging an appeal to the Administrative Court of Eastern Finland. Appeal instructions must be enclosed with the decision. A decision by the Administrative Court pertaining to a disciplinary action against a student, as referred to in section 45 of the Universities Act, is not subject to appeal.
