Failure to Participate in the Student Conduct Process

All cases shall be resolved in a timely manner. Should an accused student or recognized student organization fail to cooperate, ignore, or otherwise fail to participate in the student conduct process at any stage, the conduct process will continue without the involvement of the student or recognized student organization. The accused student or recognized student organization must comply with the decisions, recommendations and/or sanctions of the decision-making body. If the accused student or recognized student organization fails to attend the Administrative Hearing and/or Conduct Board Hearing, the hearing will proceed and a finding will be reached based upon the available evidence using the preponderance of the evidence standard. If the accused student withdraws from the College or a recognized student organization disbands prior to resolution of the case, the case will still be resolved through the process outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities.
