Jurisdiction extends to alleged misconduct that takes place: on University owned or operated property or on property that is the temporary or permanent residence of a student, including Greek Letter Organization chapter houses; at any University sponsored event, program, or activity; and at any location off campus and/or virtually if the alleged misconduct has an adverse impact on the educational mission or well-being of the University Community. The Student Conduct Code applies from the time of a student’s acceptance of admission until the time they graduate or otherwise permanently separate from the University including all university breaks and holidays. Admitted students who have not yet matriculated are not entitled to the procedures described in this Student Conduct System Handbook, and the University reserves the right to revoke admission for any conduct pre-matriculation that demonstrates poor citizenship and character as determined in the University’s sole discretion.

There is no time limit on reporting violations of the Student Conduct Code; however, the longer someone waits to report an offense, the more difficult it may become for University officials to obtain information and witness statements and to make determinations regarding alleged violations. 

Though anonymous complaints are permitted, doing so may limit the University’s ability to investigate and respond to a complaint. Those who are aware of misconduct are encouraged to report it as quickly as possible to the Dean of Students Office and/or to Public Safety.
