Students have two options:
- Take responsibility by signing an Administrative Agreement.
- Choose for their case to be heard by a level one student conduct board comprising of all students who have been trained. The Student Conduct hearings managed by a student Chairperson.

If a graduate school or future employer requests a student’s disciplinary record, what do they see?
The University and Office of Student Conduct will only release conduct history when authorized by the student. If an institution or company requests conduct history, they need to produce a signed waiver to access the information. If the student has conduct history, and has permission from the student, staff in Office of Student Conduct generates a memo that includes a brief description of the incident along with any accompanying charges and sanctions. Students who have been charged with a violation and are found not responsible are considered to have no disciplinary record. Therefore, no memo will be generated and the requesting agent will be provided with a copy of our Records Maintenance policy.
