Resolving Alleged Student Conduct Code Violations

• Updated: November 2008
• Primary Contact : Sharon Dzik

Each campus will develop and maintain fair processes for resolving complaints against students and student organizations under Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code. These processes will emphasize student development through understanding and accepting responsibility for personal behavior, while protecting community interests. Each campus's disciplinary process will:

• provide fair notice to students of alleged violations of Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code;
• encourage informal resolution of alleged violations without the need for a hearing; and
• permit students the opportunity for a fair hearing upon request, and the opportunity for one campus-wide appeal of a finding of violation of the Code.

The campus will provide a hearing body to conduct hearings requested by students. The student will be subject to only one hearing, but the hearing body may differ depending on the college or program in which the student is enrolled and the nature of the alleged violation. Each campus will maintain a student behavior committee that may be the hearing body for any case under Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code. Colleges may, however, establish their own hearing bodies to decide intracollege scholastic honesty cases under the Code (that is, cases that involve the college's student within the college's own course). Likewise, certain administrative programs, such as housing and residential life, student activities offices, and learning abroad offices, may establish and apply their own codes of conduct and hearing procedures. Any student found to have violated Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code under any of these processes is entitled to one campus-wide appeal.

This administrative policy implements Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code. It provides a framework for each campus to fairly resolve complaints about violations of Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code.
