Conduct

Informational Meeting

The charged student or student organization will be invited to attend an Informational Meeting with a Hearing Officer. An informational meeting is an opportunity for the Hearing Officer to explain the Student Conduct Process, due process rights, allegations and charges, and review all available information supporting the charges of violations of the Code. Following the Informational Meeting, the Hearing Officer may collect additional relevant information regarding the incident. The charged student or student organization will receive written notice of and be provided the reasonable opportunity to review any relevant information gathered after the Informational Meeting prior to a Resolution Agreement or Formal Hearing. This is a private meeting and will be closed to spectators, unless otherwise specified (e.g. advisor).

A student or student organization has up to three (3) days after the Informational Meeting to choose a resolution option. If the charged student or student organization fails to select a resolution option, SCED will proceed with scheduling a Formal Hearing. The type of Formal Hearing forum will be determined by the Director of SCED, or designee, based on the severity of charges and/or possible sanctions (e.g. suspension/expulsion).

If the charged student or student organization fails to attend or re-schedule an informational meeting, they will have waived their opportunity to participate in an informational meeting, and SCED will proceed with scheduling a Formal Hearing. The type of Formal Hearing forum will be determined by the Director of SCED, or designee, based on the severity of charges and/or possible sanctions (e.g. suspension or expulsion).
