In the Student Conduct Process, these are the three student choices based on the Conduct Investigator believing that the student is responsible for the alleged Code violation(s).

Findings are based on preponderance of the evidence, meaning, “It is more likely than not” that a violation occurred.

All official summons and notices will be emailed to the alleged/sanctioned student’s UA email account. Failure to meet OSC response deadlines and/or sanction deadlines will result in a hold being placed on the alleged/sanctioned student’s account. Deadlines are calculated in accordance with Code of Student Conduct, Article III.(I.)1.: Computing Time.
