University Community Standards Process

The overarching philosophy of the Community Standards Process is to educate students while at the same time holding them accountable to policies and standards of the University. Students who allegedly violate policies or standards of the University may be held accountable through the Community Standards Process.

The Community Standards Process has three adjudicating bodies which could be assigned to hold a student accountable for actions which allegedly violate policies or standards of the University. The assigned adjudicating body will depend on the severity and circumstance of the alleged violation. Detailed information about a Community Standards Conference, Community Standards Board Hearing, and a University Standards Board Hearing follows below.
