I received a letter. What comes next?

We understand that outreach from our office can bring forward a number of questions, concerns or reactions.

We strive to be as transparent as possible about what you can expect when meeting with the Student Conduct team. The steps listed on the right provide a comprehensive overview of what you can expect from the student conduct process. 

If you have questions beyond this overview, you can request a meeting with a member of our team, by emailing [email protected]. 

We also have created a list of community resources outside of our office that can provide support as you prepare for your meeting. 

Notice and Scheduling

For a Dean’s Discipline hearing, notice will be sent via University e-mail and will include information related to the documented. Dates and times for disciplinary hearings are scheduled by CSSI in consultation with the student’s academic schedule to avoid conflict. The student is also informed of the next steps in the process and their ability to review the relevant documentation prior to the hearing. During the Dean’s Discipline process, the Hearing Officers reserve the right to add or modify the policy violation charges based on information gathered throughout the investigation to more appropriately reflect the nature of the incident. The student will be notified in writing of any such modifications.

A student’s participation in the Dean’s Discipline process is mandatory. Requests to reschedule hearings are typically only granted when there is an academic conflict. If a student fails to participate in the Dean’s Discipline process after the second scheduled hearing, a decision may be rendered in their absence.
