Administrative Hearings

A charged student may choose an administrative hearing in lieu of a UDC hearing. In general, matters involving undergraduates will be heard by deans from Campus Life and/or the Office of the Dean of the College; matters involving graduate students will be heard by deans from the Graduate School; matters involving medical students will be heard by deans from the Medical School.

Procedure. The hearing procedures will be informal, but they will be consistent with the basic rights afforded to charged students (see "Student Rights and Responsibilities"). At least seven (7) days before the hearing, the dean will provide the student(s) with written notice of the charge(s), the time and location of the hearing, and a copy of the case materials. At the hearing, the student(s) has an opportunity to be heard, and the dean decides if the respondent is responsible for violation(s) of the Standards of Student Conduct.

Sanctions. If the respondent is found responsible, the dean will impose a sanction up to expulsion from the University, including any accompanying terms (see "Sanctions" and "Accompanying Terms for Sanctions"). Prior to the determination of a sanction, the case administrator will inform the dean of any prior disciplinary findings against the respondent. Within five (5) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the dean will notify the respondent(s) in writing of the decisions in the case.
