The Office of Student Conduct administers the University's Student Rights and Responsibilities code, emphasizing positive behavior change and improved decision-making to help students overcome challenges and achieve their academic goals.
Extreme policy violations could result in suspension, expulsion, restriction or denial of University services, and/or delayed conferral of degree. In most cases, these educational sanctions will not apply.
It is possible that future graduate programs or employers may request a student's conduct record, with permission from the student.
You may be present with the permission of your student and a signed release allowing the Office of Student Conduct to share information with you. Active participation by the student is of the utmost importance; they are expected to present their own perspectives. This means advisors may be present for support but will not participate in the meeting.
Our office cannot disclose any information about a student’s case without a voluntarily signed release. It is our hope that students share information with the people of support in their lives. We can always share general information about the conduct process with anyone.
The best response for your student while they work with our office is a message of support and accountability. We can best serve your student when they are communicating for themselves and making their own decisions. This means they schedule their own meetings, ask questions, and collaborate with their Conduct Officer to find a resolution. We encourage students to be transparent with their circle of support throughout the process.
The mission of Student Life is to guide students in realizing academic, professional, and personal goals as they progress toward graduation and beyond. Student Life helps students to get involved and connect on campus through the various groups advised by the office.

Most Meal Plans that offer meals are based on a weekly cycle and reset each Sunday morning at 12:01 a.m. While the meals may reset each week, the set amount of Meal Plan Points you purchase are only available per semester. Meal Points roll over from fall to spring semester, but not from spring to the next fall semester. Unused Meal Points will expire on the Friday of finals week of the spring semester. If you do not return to your housing assignment for the spring semester of your application, you forfeit your Meal Plan, including both meals and points. Students can change their Meal Plans the second and third weeks of each semester.
