Frequently Asked Questions by Students

I received a letter from the Office of Student Conduct outlining alleged charges and instructing me to attend an appointment. What does this mean? 

It means that you have been referred to the Office of Student Conduct for an alleged violation of University policy. Referrals come from a variety of places, including but not limited to, housing, campus police, faculty, coaches, etc. At this meeting, the Coordinator or Assistant Dean will discuss your rights with you, the information that was presented in the referral, and ask for your side of the story.

A referral does not mean you are responsible. The violations are alleged and are pending until the full conduct process is completed.

How do I report an alleged violation of University Rules by another student? 

You must submit a written incident report and any supporting documentation necessary to prove the case. Please submit the incident report via the online form.

What happens if I don't attend the meeting like the notification letter says?

A registration and/or transcript hold is placed on your student account preventing you from registering for future semesters and preventing the release of your transcript. This hold typically is not removed until the pending conduct matter is resolved. If you live on campus, we will request that your locks be changed, and you will not have access to your room until you have scheduled an appointment. You will be charged for the lock change.

What if I want to wait until I have to register to contact the office and attend a meeting?
