UWP Lecturers plagiarism reports

Where is the requirement for a student signature?  I don't see one on 
the form.

According to the Student Conduct site, you just need to attempt to 
contact the student:

http://conduct.ucr.edu/Faculty/Faculty+Reporting+of+Academic+Misconduct.htm

> Whenever possible, the communication should take place through an in-
> person consultation and should be conducted in a manner that respects 
> each student's privacy and maintains an environment that supports 
> teaching and learning. When a meeting is not possible or practical, an 
> instructor may communicate with the student in writing. Written 
> communication will be sent by U.S. mail to the address most recently 
> filed with the Registrar's Office, or to the student’s University e-
> mail address.

...

> The student must be given the opportunity to respond to the allegation 
> of misconduct. When communication is made in writing, students will be 
> given 10 business days to respond.

http://conduct.ucr.edu/Forms/Academic+Misconduct+Referral+Form.htm

> When a student has failed to respond to attempts to communicate them, 
> where possible, please include documentation of the attempt(s) in the 
> form of copies of the letters/emails, and/or a call log documenting 
> dates/times of attempted telephone contact.  Include the telephone 
> number contacted. 

That seems reasonable to me.  Send an email, wait 2 weeks, if no 
response, print it out and file with the report.
