Student Conduct Process


Once an incident report is submitted, the Student Conduct Administrator or their designee will review the report, gather further information, if necessary, and establish appropriate charges, if any. If charges are established, the accused student or recognized student organization will be notified by the Student Conduct Administrator or their designee to schedule an appointment with the Student Conduct Administrator, their designee or with the student’s Residence Life Coordinator (if the violation is minor).

 

After discussing the conduct process and the pending charge(s), an accused student or recognized student organization has two available courses of action:

 

Administrative Hearing

The accused student or recognized student organization may accept responsibility for violating the Standard(s) of Conduct described in the Notice of Charges and accept the College’s sanction recommendation. Such disposition shall be final and there shall be no subsequent proceedings, including appeals.

 

Student Conduct Board Hearing

An accused student or recognized student organization may elect to have a hearing before the Student Conduct Board to contest any pending charges and/or recommended sanction(s). Those appearing before a Student Conduct Board are responsible for presenting information related to their involvement or non-involvement in the incident in which they are being charged. A representative from the Office of Student Development will provide information to the Board to support the College’s allegations against the accused student or recognized student organization.
