There are several options and the SCAI staff member will go over the options with you at your meeting.
Informal Resolution
Certain cases are eligible for informal resolution. Eligible cases involve violations that not too egregious in nature and require you to accept responsibility for the charges. During an informal administrative hearing, the SCAI staff member recommends sanctions to the Director of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity. The SCAI staff member will tell you what the recommendations are during your meeting.
Formal Resolution
Certain cases must be resolved formally. If the alleged violation is egregious in nature or if you do not believe you are in violation of the charges, then the case will be resolved formally. A hearing is a chance for you to provide any information you know about the alleged violation. At a formal hearing, members of our Student Conduct Board hear the case and make their recommendation to the Director of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity. They recommend whether or not to find you in violation for the charge. If they recommend to find you in violation, they will also recommend sanctions to be imposed.
There are two types of formal hearings: administrative and panel hearings. The process for both hearings is exactly the same, however the difference is the number of Student Conduct Board members hearing the case. Administrative hearings have one faculty/staff member present to hear the case. Panel hearings have two (2) students and two (2) faculty/staff members present to hear the case.
