Ohio Administrative Code
Title 3335 - Ohio State University
Chapter 3335-23 - Code of Student Conduct
Section 3335-23-06 - Amnesty

At the university's discretion, amnesty may be extended to students who may be hesitant to report a code of student conduct violation to university officials because they fear that they themselves may be accused of minor policy violations, including but not limited to underage drinking, at the time of the incident. If a student is granted amnesty, an educational discussion or other informal resolution may be considered, but no university conduct proceedings under this rule will result.

At the university's discretion, amnesty may also be extended on a case-by-case basis for minor policy violations when students request assistance for others in need, including the person receiving assistance. If a student is granted amnesty, an educational discussion or other informal resolution may be considered, but no university conduct proceedings under the code of student conduct will result. In cases of academic misconduct, need does not include a student's inability to complete an assignment without assistance.
