Student Conduct Advisors

The Student Conduct Advisor Program for Students (Non-Title IX)

Need help preparing for a hearing, filing a report, or submitting an appeal request? Don't know anyone who can help advise you?  Contact a Student Conduct Advisor! Please note, SCAs are not trained to act as advisors under the Title IX/Sexual Misconduct grievance process.  

    • What is the Student Conduct Advisor Program?
      • An optional program for students to request assistance from volunteer professional staff members who serve as Student Conduct Advisors (SCA).
      • Most SCAs work outside of the Dean of Students Office in order to provide objective consultations for students engaged in the student conduct process.  
      • The program is a resource for students going through or involved in the student conduct process and who may want support or have questions about a case, incident, or situation of concern. 
      • SCAs can provide students with guidance on how to best prepare for a hearing, submit an incident report, enter an appeal request, or provide consultation on other student conduct processes.
      • SCAs act as a neutral party for the student, have no influence or direct involvement in a given case, and are only involved to the extent the student wishes.
      • Participation in the program is mutually optional for both the students and volunteer SCAs.
