As part of addressing violations to the Code of Student Conduct, the Accountability Process intentionally uses outcomes to encourage positive changes and developmental growth and to protect persona, property and the integrity of the University. Consideration is given to aggravating or mitigating factors with issuing an outcome. A student’s non-compliance of outcomes, an informal resolution or non-response associated with alleged violations may result in delayed registration for classes or withhold the issuance of an official transcript, grade, diploma, or degree.
Purpose
The purpose of the Code is to engage students on issues of community membership, encourage responsible decision making, safeguard the health and welfare of all members of the University community, protect University property, and promote academic integrity including class attendance.
