Article 54 of the Higher Education Law No. 2547 is used as the basic student code of conduct in intrauniversity transactions, activities and practices. In both disciplinary cases, the Disciplinary Regulation and the Honor Code provide sanctions for higher education members in line with their responsibilities and obligations regarding the reporting of known and suspected violations. In this context, Article 5 of the Student Disciplinary Regulation of Higher Education Institutions includes the following disciplinary offenses that require a reprimand: “a) reporting incomplete or incorrect information requested by higher education institution authorities, b) disrupting the order of studies such as lessons, seminars, practices, laboratories, workshops, scientific meetings and conferences, d) attempting to cheat in exams”, while Article 7 of the regulation lists the following actions that require a suspension from the higher education institution for one semester: “e) cheating or having others cheat in exams, f) committing plagiarism in seminars, theses and publications”. Among the actions that require a penalty of suspension from the higher education institution for two semesters are: “d) Cheating in exams by threatening, preventing students who cheat from being removed from the exam hall, having someone else take the exam instead of you or taking the exam instead of someone else, g) Gaining an unfair advantage for yourself or someone else by accessing the information system of the higher education institution” (Regulation Article 7). In addition, it is regulated in Article 10 of the same Regulation that, in addition to disciplinary offenses that require suspension and expulsion from the higher education institution, those who commit similar acts in nature and severity to those that require warning and reprimand will be given the same type of disciplinary punishment. Thus, honor code and academic violations that are not concretely included in the Regulation have been put under a comprehensive regulation in a way that they will be subject to sanctions.
