Succeeding at any university is exhilarating, but can have some difficulties. The Dean of Students is one of many resources to assist students in need. Here are some services provided by the Office of the Dean of Students for 成人视频:

Every student should have the opportunity to make the most out of their experiences to successfully earn their quality education at 成人视频. Enrolling at 成人视频 is a cultural experience complete with new friends, new modes of instruction and a new environment. Because of all of this change, some students struggle along the way. If you or a student you know could use assistance or guidance, the Dean of Students office can be a great resource. Many exceptional resources, including the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Accessibility and the American Indian Student Center, can be found at Student Life.

An individual's opportunity for education does not supersede the rights of others or the needs of the community. Students who are struggling academically or socially are strongly encouraged to visit the Dean of Students or any other 成人视频 staff or faculty member with whom the student feels comfortable. Our goal is to assist students in need before their behavior disrupts the learning opportunities for themselves or the educational environment for others.

Student Conduct System

Students who violate community standards may interact with the Student Conduct System, where alleged policy violations are heard by full-time staff from Residential Life, Student Conduct, or the campus hearing panel. Students are not presumed responsible for any violations and have the right to present their case to a hearing officer. If found responsible, either by admitting responsibility or based on the evidence, a sanction is assigned to promote behavioral change through education and engagement.

In rare cases of serious policy violations, especially when another community member's rights are affected, suspension or expulsion may be considered. However, most students never engage with the conduct system, and those who do typically undergo one hearing that leads to positive behavior modification.

Student Ombudsperson

In the role of the "Ombuds," the Dean of Students acts as a mentor or arbitrator rather than a conduct hearing officer. The goal is to help a student resolve an issue before it becomes a problem. Common types of discussions surround students who know they need some kind of assistance, but they鈥檙e not sure what. Other situations involve students who have new life circumstances and would like guidance with the types of options available. Frequently, the Dean of Students will refer a student to a colleague who is closer to the student鈥檚 probable solution, but visiting with the Dean of Students to discuss options can be beneficial.

Clery Report Review Committee

As part of 成人视频's requirements for receiving federal financial assistance (i.e. student financial aid), we must annually report all crimes committed on or near proximity of campus. This process is exceptionally important to ensure our current and prospective students know everything they should know about the 成人视频 community. Data is gathered through the student conduct system, the University Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
