Types of Student Rights and Responsibilities Processes

Student Rights and Responsibilities oversees the student conduct process; there are other processes and types of meetings that the SRR Office coordinates as a way to support students in their development. The different types of processes are described below:

Educational Conversations

The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities coordinates conversations that assist students in advocating for themselves, help students understand the impact of their actions, and work to impact their communities in a positive way. Educational Conversations are not a part of a student’s disciplinary record, and instead are used to partner with students for student success.

Pre-Conduct Meetings

Pre-Conduct meetings are described as incidents in which a student’s behavior has not reached the level of a Student Conduct process, but the behaviors still need to be addressed and redirected. Students will meet with a Review Officer to discuss the incident in cases of Pre-Conduct, and the conversation will not be a part of the student’s disciplinary record.

Warning

If a student violates a campus policy and it is deemed non-egregious, students may be issued a warning for the violation. This warning is a part of the student’s disciplinary record, but will not require a Review Meeting. Students may request a Review Meeting if they would like. Warnings do not result in sanctioning.

Academic Dishonesty Hearing Panel

Students who are charged with alleged violations of the Academic Integrity Policy will be assigned an Academic Dishonesty Hearing Panel (ADHP) if the charge is deemed egregious, or if the student has had any prior academic integrity concerns. Please see the Academic Integrity Policy in the Student Code of Conduct for the full policy and the procedures related to ADHPs.

Informal Resolution-Title IX Incidents Only

The Complainant and Respondent involved in a sexual misconduct incident that requires a formal Title IX investigation, have the opportunity to request an informal resolution. An informal resolution may only be attempted if each party enters the process completely voluntarily and provides written consent. The university will provide a specially trained facilitator who, in their best judgment will provide mediation, and or restorative justice. Either party may choose to withdraw from the informal resolution process at any time, and resume with the formal hearing process.
