Standards facilitates the student conduct process striving to create a campus environment conducive to learning. We help students realize their role in maintaining campus civility through educational programming and sanctioning as well as through the participants on our student conduct boards.
If your student does go through disciplinary action, The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards will not contact you directly if your student is charged with a violation of the Student Conduct Code, however, your student will be encouraged to speak with you about the incident and to include you in the pre-hearing and hearing process.
You will be notified in writing if your student is found responsible for violating any provision/section of the University Drug and Alcohol Policy.
The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards will be able to share specific case information with you if your student has waived his/her FERPA rights. If the FERPA rights have not been waived the office staff will be able to speak with you about disciplinary procedures, but will not be able to share specific case information with you.
Parents and guardians are welcome to participate in the student conduct process as advisors/support for your student(s). Parents and guardians are permitted to attend all hearings and meetings associated with the conduct process at your student’s request.
