Judicial Hearings

If a student is documented for allegedly violating the Code of Student Conduct a hearing will be scheduled to determine if there was a violation and determine sanctions. Hearings are scheduled by the Judicial Affairs Adviser through one of the following ways:

Student Judicial Board

The Student Judicial Boards hear complaints, except as specifically indicated otherwise within the Code of Student Conduct, made by any student or student organization or by any member of the College community. The composition of the Judicial Board shall be as follows:

• A total of 5 students with one taking on the role of chairperson
• Judicial Board adviser (ex officio)

Administrative Hearing Officer

The judicial adviser may assign a case to an administrative hearing officer(s) rather than the Student Judicial Board, depending on the nature of the case and/or scheduling difficulties. Administrative hearing officers are full-time administrators at the College who have been trained to hear cases involving the Code of Student Conduct.

Sexual Assault Hearing Board

The Sexual Assault Hearing Board shall hear complaints, except as specifically indicated otherwise within this Code, made by any student, member or guest of the College community involving violations of this Code. The Sexual Assault Hearing Board shall be a panel of three administrators from the college community and the judicial adviser. The three members of the panel will be selected from a pool of candidates specifically trained to hear cases of sexual assault. The judicial adviser is present only to ensure that the judicial procedures are followed and is not part of the decision process.
