Self-Report Process
In order to promote personal responsibility, the University may not seek the formal Student Conduct Process if a student who has violated a Community Standard or University Policy (e.g. attending a party where alcohol is served) voluntarily comes to a university official (i.e. Resident Director, Coach, Faculty Member, Director of Student Conduct) prior to the violation being reported. This may not apply to repeat or serious violations, criminal activity, or arrests.
The next step is for the student and the university official (if possible) to speak with the Resident Director or Director of Student Conduct and Community Standards to discuss the situation. A Personal Growth Plan will then be discussed and created. If the student chooses not to carry out the Personal Growth Plan, then the formal Student Conduct Process will follow.
