The meeting notice is the beginning of the conduct process. The conduct hearing is your opportunity to speak about your viewpoint and it is very important for the hearing officer to gather as much information as possible in order to make a decision about if a policy was violated or not. At the meeting you will have an opportunity to ask questions about the conduct process, learn about your rights and responsibilities as a student, and share your experience of the situation or incident.
Your conduct letter contains the following information:
- The alleged violation (what part of the student conduct code you may have broken)
- Time, date, and place of your scheduled conduct meeting (where you will discuss the event and share your side of the story)
- Contact information for the Conduct Officer who you will be meeting with, if you have any questions or concerns.
It is important that you pay close attention to the information in the letter. Do not just avoid the letter and hope it will go away. If you do not show up to your scheduled meeting, the conduct officer has the right to come to a decision without your input. Also, you then become responsible for failure to comply, which is an additional violation.
