STUDENT CONDUCT

The Office of the Dean of Students (ODOS) is responsible for adjudicating cases of alleged violations of the code of student conduct.  ODOS uses educationally focused procedures when addressing student misconduct.  ODOS may impose sanctions for misconduct including oral or written warnings, disciplinary probation, probated suspension, suspension, or expulsion.  Students may appeal disciplinary penalty decisions to the Campus Appeals Board (CAB).
