Notification

  • A student will receive an email to their University email account requesting a meeting to discuss an incident that has occurred.

During the Meeting

The Decision

  • The student will be informed of the decision regarding the charges via University email.

  • If the student is found responsible, a sanction or consequence will be assigned.
  • The student may then accept or reject the decision.

The Options

  • If the student chooses to accept the decision, the process ends here.  Non-response to the decision email will be considered as acceptance of the decision.
