Dean's Certification

As students apply to various graduate programs, transfer to other undergraduate institutions, or apply for positions that require background checks, the Office of Student Conduct is called upon to answer questions regarding past student judicial history. Students can either leave the forms with the Registrar's office or bring them to the Office of Student Conduct. The records check will be completed within twenty-four hours and the form will be given to Registration and Records for a final check and mailing. There may be a charge assessed for this service.

Programs

Staff from the Office of Student Conduct and the Judicial Branch of Student Government are available to present programs for classes, clubs, organizations, faculty meetings, or other groups, focusing on academic or non-academic behavioral issues. Presentations are available focusing on academic misconduct issues, including definitions of violations, explanations of procedures, and strategies to prevent academic misconduct.

Consultation

We are available to consult on individual cases, before a student or faculty member decides whether to pursue charges. This consultation could cover topics as varied as sexual misconduct to plagiarism. We are also available to consult in the creation of departmental and college policies in the area of academic misconduct.

Research

We have a limited ability to generate reports comparing certain variables. This may be of assistance in detecting trends in certain areas. There may be a fee associated with some report generation. Please call us to describe specifically what you need.
