D. Student Conduct Hearing
Alleged violations of university regulations where neither suspension nor expulsion are a possibility will normally be resolved through a Student Conduct Hearing with a conduct officer/decision maker.
Students have the right to be accompanied by an advisor, who may advise and support the student. The advisor may participate directly to the same extent as the student. Such direct participation is a privilege which, if abused, may be withdrawn by the conduct officer. If the privilege is withdrawn, the advisor may continue to advise the student. However, if the advisor fails to act in accordance with hearing procedure, the conduct officer may bar the advisor from the hearing. The student must notify the Dean of Students office four days in advance of the hearing if accompanied by an advisor. In such cases, the university may have an attorney in attendance.
