University Jurisdiction

William Woods University students are subject to all local, county, state, and federal laws, as well as the University Community Standards and University Policies, and may be held accountable through the Community Standards Process resulting in appropriate sanctions, up to and including dismissal from the University. This also extends to conduct off campus that is brought to the attention of the University.

The Community Standards Process is not a criminal proceeding and functions independently. The Community Standards Process may consider, but is not bound by, any action taken in regard to the same violation by city, state, or federal courts. There is no legal basis for any claim of double jeopardy within the William Woods University Community Standards Process.

All records related to campus incidents, student behavior, or any alleged violations of Community Standards and/or University policies are kept in the Office of Student Life.
