A hearing is a meeting with the Hearing Board. The Hearing Board consists of faculty, students and staff authorized by the SARP Director. They meet with students to discuss alleged policy violation(s) and what happened from the student's perspective.

Hearing Procedures

The case is resolved through a University Hearing when a student disagrees that their action(s) violated the policy(s) they are alleged to have violated and the possible outcome if they are found responsible would be suspension, expulsion or removal from on-campus housing.

Specific information about Hearing procedures is published in the Code of Student Accountability.

Preparing for Your Hearing

Ways to prepare for your hearing include: 

• Read your notice of alleged violation(s) letter and take note of the alleged violation(s) you have been presented with prior to the hearing.
• Read through the Code of Student Accountability. This provides a greater understanding of the university's process.
• Write down any questions you may have regarding information you have reviewed.
• As the incident will be discussed at the hearing, you may want to think back over the details of the event and make note of pertinent information.
• You may be accompanied by a support person during the hearing. Discuss their role as a support person prior to the hearing.
• Be aware that the standard of evidence in a University Hearing is different than in a court of law. Proponderance of evidence is the standard of proof used in accountability proceedings. 
• The entire hearing proceedings will be explained to you before the hearing begins, allowing you an opportunity to ask any questions.
• You are encouraged and expected to be honest about what happened and to take responsibility for your actions. 
• You will be offered an opportunity to present a final statement during the hearing which is in addition to you sharing your version of events during the incident. You may wish to write your thoughts down to refer to them during your statement.
• Remember, the university cares about its students and wants students to make healthy and safe choices. Being part of the university community carries with it responsibilities. It is important for each member of the community to think about how their actions not only impact themselves but others as well.
