The Dean of Student Services coordinates the student conduct system. This includes consulting with faculty and staff on matters of student behavior (including classroom disruption and academic integrity) updating the University Rules of Conduct, maintaining the conduct records database, training and advising conduct and appeals board members (faculty and students), coordinating alcohol education seminars, sending parental notification of alcohol and drug violations, responding to conduct records inquiries, and ensuring compliance with applicable laws.

Mission

Student Conduct, an extension of the educational mission of the University, is intended to educate students about appropriate behavior and the potential consequences of their actions and choices, thus promoting learning, personal responsibility, self-discipline, respect for others, and the understanding and support of the educational values of our community.

We help students to:

  • Understand the purpose for community standards.
  • Know how to bring their behavior into compliance with the community standards.
  • Maturely accept accountability for his/her behavior.
  • Clarify values as they are related to the behavior in question.
  • Make more positive self-directed choices that will better enable him/her to assume adult roles.
  • Consider the consequences of his/her behavior.

Ways we can serve you:

  • One-on-one or group consulting on concerns of student behavior
  • Explain policies
