What is Student Non-Academic Misconduct?

The Student Non-Academic Misconduct Policy describes student behaviours that are considered misconduct. The policy also describes the process for responding to prohibited conduct and the possible consequences (sanctions) if a student is found responsible for non-academic misconduct.

If a student is alleged to have violated the student non-academic misconduct policy, a hearing will be scheduled. A hearing is a meeting between the student (the "respondent") and a Hearing Officer or Hearing Board. The student is welcome to bring an advisor (who serves as a support person) to the hearing if they choose. The hearing is an opportunity for the student to respond to the allegation. This can include presenting any new information the student may have, and/or discussing the details of the alleged violation. After the hearing, the student will receive written notification (a "decision letter") that outlines if the student has been found responsible for the alleged misconduct, the rationale for the decision, the assigned sanction(s), and information about the appeal process.
