Disciplinary Procedures Code

Administration
Administrative responsibility for student disciplinary procedures is assigned to the vice president for student and university affairs.

Misconduct Complaint

Any member of the university community may file a complaint alleging student misconduct. Complaints are filed using an Incident Report form, which is available at the Office of Judicial and Mediation Services, Room 204 Egbert, or at the Nair or Givan Hall 24-hour service desks.

Misconduct Notice

When, as a result of a complaint by a member of the university community or as a result of a disciplinary investigation, there is reason to believe a student has violated conduct regulations, the student will be so notified in writing. The student must respond as required by the notice.

Informal Hearings

Cases not involving the sanctions of dismissal or suspension may be heard
informally, as specified by university procedures, with notice and the opportunity
to be heard afforded students. An adjudication officer, appointed from the
professional staff of the Office of Student and University Affairs, will discuss the
charges with the student and afford the student an informal hearing. Should the
adjudication officer find justification, an appropriate disciplinary sanction will be
issued. Should the adjudication officer find that the charges require further
examination, or should the alleged misconduct merit consideration of suspension
or dismissal, the matter will be referred for a formal hearing.
