Student Conduct

Student Conduct Board

OVERVIEW

The Student Conduct Board provides the opportunity for university students, staff, and faculty members to take part in the conduct process, gain decision making-skills, and promote a safe and welcoming campus community.

Cases that are brought before the Conduct Board involve students who have been found responsible for one or more violations of the Student Code of Conduct during the Initial Review Process and have chosen to request a Formal Hearing. The role of the Conduct Board is to determine whether it is reasonable to conclude that the student is responsible or not responsible for the violations based on all submitted information (i.e. incident reports, testimonies, photographs, etc.). Additionally, if a violation is found, the Conduct Board will determine the appropriate educational sanction/s for the student

Participation on the Conduct Board is a unique opportunity to serve as a leader in the campus community. All faculty, staff, and student Board Members must attend a training program to receive the skills necessary to serve in this capacity. Any questions regarding the application and or/process can be directed to our email.
