Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution

When incidents of alleged misconduct happen, our office is the main university entity that works with students to determine a resolution. We also ensure that students receive fair treatment in all disciplinary matters. Students, faculty, and staff who believe there has been a violation of the Code of Student Conduct can contact our office to discuss opens available for reporting incidents to the appropriate authorities. Office staff can assist victims of assault or harassment by a University student, and they are also available for educational programs on a variety of related topics.

Through the Student Conduct Program in the Office of the Dean of Students, it is our aim to help students understand the impact their behavior has on the global community, and to assist them with making future decisions that lead to personal and professional success.
