The Syracuse University Conduct System is an educational process designed to assist students in their decision-making. This is done through a variety of means.
Below is a general overview of the process, for full details regarding the conduct process, please refer to the Student Conduct System Handbook.
Investigation Process
In instances when more information about a report or concern is needed, Community Standards may conduct an investigation as outlined in Part 6 of the Student Conduct System Handbook.
Bias Response Process
Students who have been involved in a bias-related incident will be managed following the protocols outlined in the Bias Incident Response section of the Student Conduct System Handbook.
Resolution by Agreement Process
Resolution by Agreement occurs between a student and a conduct officer as outlined in Part 7 of the Student Conduct System Handbook.
Formal Hearing Process (Non-Title IX)
If a student is unable to resolve their case through the Resolution by Agreement Process, a case will be forwarded to the Formal Hearing process as outlined in Part 8 of the Student Conduct System Handbook.
Title IX Hearing Process
Students involved in a Title IX-related matter (e.g. sexual misconduct, dating or domestic violence, stalking) will have their formal cases resolved through the processes and procedures outlined in Part 3 of the Student Title IX Policies and Procedures Handbook.
Appeal Process
Students who disagree with the outcome of a formal hearing have the ability to appeal their outcome. Appeals for non-Title IX-related matters are addressed in Part 10 of the Student Conduct System Handbook.
