The student may choose to admit or to deny commission of the offense and request:

To appear before the judicial body (where appropriate) that handles that offense for a hearing and disposition of the matter. NOTE: the All-University Court can hear only offenses that could result in suspension or expulsion.

To have his/her alleged offense resolved informally through an administrative hearing in the Office of Student Engagement and Campus Life.

At least 48 hours prior to a hearing of any University judicial body, an accused student will be notified in writing at the last place of residence known to the University or at the permanent address listed on the student's registration form for the semester. This notice will be given by the judicial body hearing the case and will include at least the following information:

The time, place, and date of the hearing;

The judicial body before which the student is to appear; and

Specific statements of charges.

The following time limits are established in order to guarantee the rights of a student to a speedy hearing and disposition of his/her case:

All campus judicial bodies will hear cases within ten working days of the date that a student has been notified that he/she has been accused of an offense.

In the event that a judicial body fails to hear a case within the time limits established above, the case will automatically be scheduled for hearing within five workdays by the next highest judicial body.

In the event that a case moves automatically to a higher court, the student is to be notified within 24 hours by the judicial body taking the case of the new time, place, and date of the hearing and of the body before which the student is to appear.

In an administrative hearing, ordinarily the disposition will be made within five weekdays of the date that the student has been notified by the Office for Student Engagement and Campus Life that he/she has been accused of an offense.

All judicial bodies will reach their decisions within 72 hours of the conclusion of a hearing.

The Office of Student Engagement and Campus Life, of the decision of a judicial body and of the penalties, if any, which have been imposed, will notify an accused student in writing. This notification will be made within five days of the conclusion of the hearing at the last place of residence known to the University or at the permanent address listed on the student's registration form for that semester.

Irrespective of any decision of the All-University Court, the University President retains the right to overrule the decision of the All-University Court.
