Preparing for an Informal Hearing with OSA

At the time of your meeting, the Office of the Student Conduct will seek information regarding the circumstances of the incident from your point of view. Officers will also answer any questions you have about your rights, due process, possible sanctions, appeals, etc.
At the end of the appropriate fact finding process, a decision is made as to whether the student is responsible for the student conduct code sections cited in the original letter. The University uses the preponderance of evidence standard as the measure by which a decision is made.
