Disciplinary Process

The Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President is responsible for:

  • Investigating allegations of misconduct.
  • Administering the disciplinary process.
  • Maintaining a written record of all actions regarding student conduct violations.

A complaint involving a violation of the Nonacademic Code of Conduct must be submitted in writing to the associate vice president and University registrar, acting on behalf of the provost and senior vice president  who will review the matter to determine whether the allegations merit proceeding with formal charges, or should be addressed informally.

If, in the opinion of the associate vice president and University registrar, the complaint should be pursued formally, the student will receive written notice of the charges and specifications as well as information about a scheduled hearing. The provost and senior vice president  may withdraw the charges any time prior to the hearing, if good cause exists to do so. The student’s record is placed on hold while a disciplinary matter is pending. Requests for transcripts or other administrative actions will not be honored until the student’s disciplinary procedure is completed.
