Student Conduct ensures a safe and fair environment for students to reflect on their behaviors and discuss learning that has occurred.

• Title IX

• How OCR Differs
  The Office of Conflict Resolution addresses conflicts or concerns that fall outside of the parameters of the offices identified above. These are often Other Conduct of Concern (OCC) and other behaviors that are considered inappropriate but do not violate a policy or the Standards for Student Conduct, and generally do not rise to the level of a potential policy violation or warrant disciplinary action.
