Our Office

Judicial Affairs has oversight for all records and information related to student conduct violations not related to the Honor Code.

We hope you will find this website helpful as you search for information regarding the Student Conduct process, other student policies, and our philosophies on discipline. If you have difficulty locating or understanding a policy or have other questions, please feel free to contact us.

In Judicial Affairs, we are constantly trying to balance the individual need of students with the needs of the university community. You can expect our staff to handle each student with care, concern and compassion while seeking to teach integrity, responsibility, and accountability.
