28. Before applying disciplinary punishment to a Student, the Directorate of
Institutes/NSPP are obliged to request a written explanation from the Student on the merits
of the violation committed by him.
29. The student's refusal to give a written explanation, as well as his failure to provide
a written explanation due to his absence from classes or non-appearance on call, cannot

serve as an obstacle to the application of disciplinary punishment. In this case, a commission
organized by the Director of the Institutes/NSPP draws up an appropriate act. The
Commission is organized in the composition of at least five people from among the
employees of the Institutes/NSPP, a lawyer and a teaching staff.
30. The commission may include Students of the EP, which includes a Student who
has committed a disciplinary offense.
31. If the facts of misconduct by Students are revealed, for which the current
legislation provides for criminal liability, the director of the Institutes/ NSPP is obliged to
immediately notify the Vice-rector for academic activities of the Academy, SD, DLDS in order
to make a decision on contacting law enforcement agencies.
32. For each disciplinary offense, only one disciplinary penalty may be applied to a
student. The type of disciplinary punishment is imposed depending on the degree of the
committed act.
33. Materials on the consideration of each case should be drawn up in a Protocol and
stored in the student's personal file.
34. The commission of a disciplinary offense by students is subject to the following

types of penalties: - verbal warning; - reprimand; - public censure of the committed offense;
- expulsion from the Academy. An order to impose a disciplinary penalty on a student cannot
be issued during the period of: - temporary disability of the student; - holidays; - the student
is on academic leave. Systematic failure to comply with the provisions of the Code of Ethics
and Academic Integrity is the basis for the initiation by the directors of the Institutes/NSPP
of the procedure for reviewing the student's personal file with the Vice-Rector for academic
affairs.
